    Lovely to see your spring colours. I have the same ones showing here. There's always something encouraging about seeing the first bloomers. They make bees happy too. That first dose of pollen is so necessary.

    Is it just me or does the advent of this spring seem extra special this year? :) Beautiful shots KM!

    Thank you Sjoerd.I agree and they really cheer up the dismal weather. I haven't seen much bee activity recently as we haven't had more than one day without rain again...

    Thank you Carolyn.

    Thank you Netty. I hope your spring arrives soon.

    Frank, I think you're right-it has been so miserable any colour has to be a good thing.

    Thank you Cheryl.

    Hi Karin--

    Lovely photos~ Made me want to run outside & look for our snowdrops & croscuses! Of course the 2' of snow out there is a little daunting....I think I shall just enjoy yours.

    I'm noticing sprouts popping up here and there and saw bees hovering around the Daffodils.
