The weather forecast got it wrong this morning, so I walked the dogs and then took my camera to Killerton to make the most of the unexpected sunshine. I’ve taken you before, for the Christmas decorations and a fashion exhibition, but this time I wanted to see how the grounds were looking in their spring costumes.
The Magnolia blossom was spectacular
Everywhere you look, flowers both woodland and cultivated
Shrubs and assorted loveliness!
Killerton is a National Trust property a few miles east of Exeter, I hope you enjoyed your spring walk.
Lucid Gypsy 
Looks like spring has sprung!
Oh yes, I did, thanks for taking us along Gilly! It’s extraordinary – once it begins, it just explodes! Particularly enjoyed the delicate maple leaves – so tentative, so transitory. 🙂
so sublimely lovely, all those blossoms, smooth green fields, swathes of daffodils and plants we rarely see here, every nuance of colour and form so pleasing and comforting somehow!
Glorious photos of the magic of spring awakening. I’m drooling in anticipation. How is it spring flowers can have such an affect on us? At the moment I feel I’m in jail and waiting to bust out. 😉
It looks so lovely, so inviting!

I think your true vocation is promoting Devon, Gilly!
A lovely walk, I envy your photographic skills. Beautiful captures. The only thing that surprises me is that they got the forecast wrong.

Your blossoms of emerging Spring give me hope that the seasons always comes- eventually!
Magnolias are just so beautiful!
Don’t you love when the meteorologists err on the positive side!? Seems to happen infrequently, but when it does, man it’s like a gift from on high!
Your spring has taken hold, bigtime!
I believe Spring has sprung. Such a nice selection of beautiful flowers you captured, Gilly. It looks like winter has gone to bed.
Fabulous walk of beauty …. xo
Everything, even the fallen tree trunk, is so beautiful! What a glorious transformation from the bleak landscapes of a few weeks ago Gilly.
I love the walk with you…such a feast of beauty Gilly
It’s truly very beautiful there Gilly and you’ve captured it so well! Love the blossoms. Stunning! 😀
Spring comes at last. Enjoy, Gilly 🙂
I think we’ve been forgotten … as I look out my window I still see 18 inches of snow, not a flash or colour or green anywhere; certainly no bulbs pushing up through soil that is still blanketed … truly forgotten, we may remain like this till the snows blow again …
