WINTER so often clashes with spring these days, but Holme Valley Parish Council is adding a big splash of colour to its area.
That colour will be yellow as the council has provided 5,000 daffodil bulbs to be shared between several community groups.
These daffodils pictured on the moors above Huddersfield in the snow show just how striking they can be as they herald the end of winter and the start of some warmer days.
Groups to benefit include scouts and guides based in the valley, the Friends Of Wooldale Park Pond Preservation Group, Scholes Methodist Church, people living in Broad Lane and Woodchurch View, Thongsbridge; Hade Edge Action For Residents; Holmfirth Parish Church, St George’s Church, Brockholes; Thurstonland Village Association; Holmbridge Pre-school; Lane Pre-school Playgroup in Holmfirth and New Mill Church.
