Receding Winter

[finnbay]

Not much of winter left showing. Spent a bit of time today looking for some remnants left behind.

A victim from last fall:

A snowshoers loss:

Still hanging around:

And a post with another winter's wear and tear:

And some signs of the coming spring. A warming sun:

Butterflies are free:

First bee:

Double crocus:

Nice variety!!! I'm liking those flowers. I would like to say spring has sprung, it's 68 degrees here now and snow for saturday!

Thanks Ken, that crocus & bee are very nice to see. What kind of area do they bloom in that early in your neighborhood? The ground must be frozen yet. Do shadowed areas still have snow?

The snow really took a hit over the last three days. Some drifts in shady spots, but that's about it. Minnow Lake is about 1/3 open and Birch got some black spots in the middle this afternoon. Saw trucks driving across it only 4 days ago. I've had the crocus actually come up through the snow a couple of times. These are at the end of my driveway and are fully exposed to the sun for most of the day. Finally some color!

Those crocus look beautiful, especially this time of year!

I like the background on the post shot.
