I’m a Fan of …….Spring Blossoms
….thanks Jez for hosting I’m a fan of…..https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/05/09/coots-fan-of-155/
This year I experienced three spring seasons. The first was in France where the blooms were out in early April, then in London where the trees were flowering in mid to late April and now in Toronto in early May.

Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge – March Spring
….it may be spring according to the calendar but winter isn’t done with us just yet
The beginning of March brought so much hope for an early spring but the last few days of March had other ideas. Here are a few of the things I’ve witnessed in the last four weeks.
These photos appear in the order that they were taken.
Good Morning Shot
…it’s not often that I get to see this
It happens every day but I’m usually still in bed. Yesterday I had to get up early to drive my daughter and her family to the airport. It was still partially dark when we left but on my drive back home the glare from the rising sun was almost blinding. I stopped at the bottom of our street to get this shot.

Water, Water Everywhere – #119 – What a Difference a Week Can Make
…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/03/28/canal-reflections-water-water-everywhere-119/
Last week, the rain cleared away the last bits of snow, the sun warmed up the air and the ground and I even sat on a log by the beach and enjoyed watching the ducks on the lake and the Great Blue Heron on the pond.
…..and then the temperature dropped and we woke up to this on Sunday morning.
It’s still icy cold and this morning more snow fell after I dropped my daughter and her family off at the airport. When they arrived in Moncton, N.B. they were greeted with hail. Ahhhh, winter in Canada. Luckily, we know that spring is just around the corner but we can’t put the boots away just yet.

I’m a Fan of Canada Geese – March 15, 2022
….thanks to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of…..https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/03/14/weekend-sky-59-fan-of-147/
Yesterday much of the snow was off the ground and the geese and ducks wandered onto the grass and started eating the turf.
A Winter Wonderland In March
….after yesterdays gently falling snow
The snow had completely melted from everyone’s properties, the roads and sidewalks were clear and then this happened. For most of the day the temperatures were hovering just above freezing and even though it had been snowing for hours most of it melted when it hit the ground. Later in the day the temperature dropped to just below freezing and the snow started to stick to everything. There was no wind. Driving home from a shopping trip I felt like I had been transported into a magical winter village. Before going into the house I took a stroll up the street and took a few photos.
