Nature in London, Spring?

I went last month to London: I was genuinely expecting spring. I carried cute tank tops, and maybe one jacket, just in case.

The first week of May, the low was 8 degrees, with strong winds. The second week was probably nicer weather. The 3rd week saw the heat wave, and the last week the rain.

Such confusing weather. If this were a man trying to woo a woman, he would not even know what he wants.

Moss growing so happily.

I can't believe the lush green.

Hola.

I had to identify this, it is a Clematis, a double flowered variety, spotted growing in the wild. 

Poppy. 

An abundance of roses: they smelled wonderful.

Just your average magpie, Epping Forest.

Always love to see small weeds and plants growing in the unlikeliest of places.

I am not sure if these ducks patrol the Hampstead Heath park only during Spring, or is it year round?

An abundance of nature always makes me happy. Wildflowers growing like it is nobody's business. Moss thriving on old trees. Busy bumble bees, magpies staring at you, pigeons and crows coexisting, swans paddling briskly, a lone small fox, roses ready for inspection. But most of all, the old trees standing their ground.
