    Hmmmm…. it was just evening last, that I saw strange and unaccountable lights emanating from the garden. I went to investigate. Slowly I inched my way along the only cleared pathway, the one I use to get to the bird feeder. The lights were moving about as if searching for something. I took a picture.

    As I approached the lights stopped moving.

    I made note of the location and went inside.

    The next morning I dug through the snow to locate the origin of the strange lights.

    It seems that the Crocus were looking around to find a place to emerge. It appears that I accommodated their search. :)

    I want to thank Sjoerd for the use of his flowers. I was not aware of how far crocus will dig to emerge for spring. :)
