There's a long way to go yet, and cold weather is on the way, but this is something I look forward to at this time of year - cuckoo pint Arum maculatum foliage spearing up through last year's dead leaves and beginning to unfurl.

Lovely shot Phil.
Got plenty of these bursting through the ground round here at the moment.
Fully in leaf here in Somerset Phil and now it's hailing, fingers crossed.
My laptop is struggling to get pictures onto its screen today so I can see nothing here except an empty square. (Will return!) However, it's a good reminder to go and look for the Arum Maculatum which grown in abundance in the wooded areas near where I live. I too like them and always find them surprising, even though I see them every year.
I shall go and check the local population on Monday. Hope the cold doesn't get them.
I've seen some with leaves fully expanded Keith - they seem pretty early this year..
I think we are heading for a stop-start kind of spring Andrew...
Hi Lucy, I've got them in my garden and they are slowly spreading around - birds must be eating the berries and dispersing the seeds.
I think they are pretty tough toffeeapple, which is interesting because most aroids are sub-tropical or tropical....
A beautiful shot at mouse's view angle! Love it.
These little pocket digital cameras are great for getting ground level perspectives, aren't they Blackbird? A bit hit-and-miss sometimes, though, because the autofocus can be a bit random......
