Spring Equinox – a cycle ride through the Fens

The Spring is one of my favourite times of year. Such promise!

At the Spring Equinox when the night begins to retreat and the days grow longer I went out for a cycle ride through the Fens north of Cambridge, one of my favourite places to visit. I like the open expanse of the sky and the land. Everything feels so open.

At this turn of the year all around me the dark earth had been turned to await new growth and in some cases green shoots were already beginning to show through. Here and there the recent heavy rain that had marked February lingered in deep puddles. On the horizon the trees were still in their winter garb but their edges were beginning to soften in the light.

Here are a few of the photographs I took on the day.
