This week's title is Spring Tidings. Clockwise from upper left: A dark image of a moody-looking, about-to-bud-out tree shows what the partial eclipse looked like in Hooverville, Paige's view peeking through bare early-spring branches at a pink castle in his neighbourhood, a glorious shot of lilacs from Austria, where it's already spring, A front-and-back shot of a bunny cutout on a Scottish lawn, A serious-looking greenfinch in an English tree, an apple blossom, a posing cormorant, a spray of red tulips with one yellow for contrast, and an American cottontail bunny in grass.

It dumped buckets on Hooverville – we've had three times the normal amount of rain – but things are looking up, now that the sun has put in an appearance. Bunnies are hopping, nuthatches are being nutty, there are daffodils in front of the Post Office, and the ceremonial First Cutting of the Lawn has already taken place. We declare Spring sprung.

In the meantime, our Willem's still off enjoying his autumn, so you get a nice birdie rerun. In fact, we have a lot of birdies for you, yet again. We even invite you to identify them. The first dozen nitwits who dub them 'Kevin' or 'Gladys' will be visited by the Phantom Ninja Bird Police under cover of darkness. They will erase your online bird logs. So don't do it.

We have flowers. We have a kitty, or at least, the back of one. We have montages of things compiled by the more obsessive photographers. I have decided this was the best way to display these photos. Also, I'm on strike about loading them all, and this is easier.

We have fiction for you – do check the serials out. Whether you're dying to know how to de-scent a whole church fête or learn more than you ever wanted to know about ancient Roman comedies, or have your brain twisted with puzzles about time and space travel, the h2g2 Post is the place for you to be. Take us along as you enjoy your nature walks.

Also take along your phones. Who am I kidding? You're attached to those things. They aren't just good for texting, people: take pictures. And send them to me. Have a wonderful week.

Quote of the Week:
A man and his dog walked by the house. Fortunately, Jovie & Kobie's loud barking chased the man & dog away so we are all safe. Be on the lookout for a man & dog walking.
