March in Like a Lion ( and leave the same way!)

For me this was a March for the history books! For me March has been a Lion all the way through. I cannot remember a March in which I experienced such a diversity of photographic experiences.

The month rolls on
And Spring draws near,
And March goes out
Like a lamb so dear
