Has spring sprung?

Spring is strangely yellow this year

I am not talking about daffodils. It is the bits which should be green which are yellowish brown

It may be dead stuff left over from winter – we got a lot of early green in our February spring but then new growth came to a halt so there is still plenty of dead grass & foliage around

Or is it the result of something even more unusual?

Because there is also a lot of unusually lush green moss growing on walls
