Ilkeston - Blossom
w/e 02 May 2021
All of this week's
pictures were taken with a Kodak DX6490
I've heard of the expression "Painting the town
red" but with all the blossom that is currently on display
it's been more a case of painting the town pink this week. This
selection of images were all taken at various random spots whilst
out walking through the town during the week.
This was seen in a front garden on Park Road.
|
The entrance road to Morrisons supermarket is lined with young
trees.
|
An older tree is doing its best to disguise a telegraph pole
on Stanton Road.
|
There's a fine display on the triangle of land on Saint Andrew's
Drive.
|
And behind the Town Hall there's another blossoming tree on the
car park.
|
This brightly coloured tree is at the southern end of Chalons
Way.
|
The blossoming tree in the garden of a house on Wharncliffe Road
contrasts sharply with those that have been pollarded on the
pavement.
|
Whilst another tree in a garden is overhanging the pavement for
all to see on West End Drive.
|
A bench at the Jackson Avenue bus stop where Wharncliffe Road
meets Lord Haddon Road is facing the wrong way if you want to
sit and admire the late show of daffodils in front of the blossoming
trees.
|
There's another bench half way up (or down) Nottingham Road and
tall conifers shelter another display of blossom. It is also
easier to see whilst sitting on the bench as the tree is to the
side rather than behind but like all the other locations it brightens
the town for everyone passing by.
