As the chill of winter fades, nature slowly awakens.

The air is fragrant with freshly cut grass and the subtle scent of life returning after its cold slumber.

US nature writer Neltje Blanchan once wrote: “Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?”

From the sight of ducklings paddling along ponds to lambs taking their first steps, the renewal of life is visible everywhere.

These moments, quietly unfolding in the countryside, remind us of the simple beauty of the changing season.
