Early Spring sunshine and warm weather

In this part of the world it is warm and sunny, incredible spring weather. Not long ago thermals were an essential wardrobe item.

Yesterday afternoon spent beside Hume Weir, now at 99% capacity. So full with the countryside so green it's unbelievable. Intensely emerald green grass is just beautiful and the green sets off the gum leaves really well.

In Albury the magnolias are fully out, blossom everywhere, daffodils and bulbs too. The perfume of the wild growing freesias on the nature corridor from Nail Can to the river is exquisite.

Re painting - after the second session on the first work it seems that my day in the sunny green landscape has affected the palette. Early days yet but getting a better sense of the sweeping vista from Eastern Hill back to Wodonga.
