Spring has Sprung
….despite the cold temperatures there are signs everywhere that spring is here
Today the sun is out and the temperatures are above freezing….momentarily.
Has Winter Left Us for Good?
….I can only hope but I’m not holding my breath
The last 10 days have been glorious. It started last week when we travelled to Niagara Falls for the day and the temperature rose to 20 degrees celsius. That practically t-shirt weather. I’ve seen signs of an early spring almost every day but in between we’ve had a few chilly days. Here are a few sure signs that spring isn’t far off.
People wearing shorts and t-shirts, enjoying the sun in the park, drinking coffee outside, daffodils in the markets, children playing in the park, wildflowers popping up through the brown leaves, beaver activity and grass turning green.
Sure Signs of Spring
….despite the unseasonably cold and blustery weather
Yesterday I saw my first robin. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera or phone handy so I didn’t a picture. However, earlier in the day I did see and photography the following signs of spring.
In Germany they are definitely basking in the warmth of spring. Earlier today my cousin sent me photos of the family and they are actually having a meal in an outdoor cafe. The gentleman in the photo is my uncle, my father’s younger brother.
More Signs That Spring is Here
….but I haven’t yet removed my snow tires
The shrubs and trees are starting to develop their buds, crocus are starting to emerge from the hard cold ground and I finally took down my Christmas lights.
More Signs that Spring is Here
….even though it’s still March and spring is officially here I say this with some trepidation
The sun is high in the sky, people are catching some rays on park benches, a few brave souls are playing tennis and we’ve started cooking outdoors again.
Signs of Spring????
….even though it’s sunny and it’s milder today winter is not done with us
There are, however, clear signs that spring isn’t too far off.
Is Spring Just Around the Corner?
…..don’t get your hopes up
This past weekend we’ve seen warmer temperatures, thawing snow, rain and grey skies. Certainly signs that spring can’t be too far off but I’m sure winter is not finished with us just yet. Here are a few photos that might give you hope that spring is just around the corner.
Sunday Morning Walk
….an exceptionally beautiful day
I knew that I would be indoors for most of the day trying to clean-up the two rooms upstairs so I went out for my walk early today. Frances and I headed out towards Col. Sam Smith Park. It was a glorious morning and the runners, dog walkers, nature photographers and cyclists were out early as well. With my iPhone in hand I took as many photos as Frances would allow.
Spring Has Sprung
….despite coolish temperatures Spring has officially arrived
I mentioned in an earlier post that there were signs of spring here in Toronto if you take the time to look. On my walk today I purposely photographed as many signs of spring as I could. Enjoy!
