Spring is just around the corner - along with some warmer weather hopefully.
The season officially starts on Sunday, March 20, after a wet and windy winter that saw the region visited by a number of storms such as Dudley, Eunice and Franklin.
We’ve taken a look back at some spring-themed pictures from years gone by.
This week’s images were all taken by JPIMedia photographers in and around the Harrogate district. They span the years between 2000 and 2005.
