The last couple of days have been cloudy, but before that--on a bright sunny afternoon--I got some photographs of the first signs of
the real Spring that will begin to bloom all around us in the next few weeks.
This is what we are seeing in mid-March:
 |
The Forsythia bushes have just begun to show their first tentative yellow shoots.
|
 |
Elsewhere, green buds bathe in the sunshine.
|
 |
Reepicheep also gets her fair share of afternoon sun. She is glad to see the warmer weather here to stay.
|
 |
The big maple trees are still bare except for their early red tips. Hard to believe this will be a green canopy soon!
|
 |
We see and hear lots of birds in the early evening. The starlings are all about in the bare branches.
|
 |
| And the robins are all around, scouting for places to build nests when the trees are green. |
