Duck and daffs: Mill Lane, Wigginton

There were a number of ducks around, and one duck was wandering around near several clumps of daffodils. At one point it stopped and appeared to be admiring them.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, Converge students took a camera with them on their daily walk. And nature put on a splendid show with one of the best and warmest springs in years...

Spring carried on as usual...

Pupa: Spring has sprung... we hope. Saw this little fella on my wall and he made me smile. I believe he will turn into an Angleshade moth. I just love nature. Sian Fox

Daisies: I loved how the daisies had a halo of light around them. Simple things like this brighten my day whilst I am in social isolation living with my three cats.

Tadcaster Road, York

Monday morning rush hour Tadcaster Road. We cross here everyday on our way to school and there is always a traffic jam with lots of pollution. Today it was completely deserted and the air was clean.

Black sheep:

Taken on my walk around the fields near my home in Tadcaster. Isn’t he a magnificent ram. Those horns are quite impressive. Meet the rest of the family.

Daffs on walls:

This was taken during the first week of the lockdown. I was out for my daily exercise, but the fresh air and sunny afternoon, welcome as they were, hadn’t quite been enough to dissipate my anxiety. When I reached the city walls, these bright spring daffodils on the bank took my breath away. A symbol of hope, their cheerful trumpets reminded me that even through our human health crisis the world still flourishes, and for a while, my anxiety melted away.
