Thanks, I need that. Still surrounded here in IL with frozen tundra. But there’s hope, as your pics show.

Beautiful!

So many people forget us in the NW. ;o)

Our daffodils and crocus should have bloomed in Feb., but they aren’t blooming yet. They are growing, but no blooms.

We are at least 10 degrees below normal right now, and I’m just about to go crazy with this cold, dark weather.

Nobody remembers us...unless there is an anarchist revival...aka riot...going on. lol

What a beautiful picture! Is that you?

Snowshoeing or x country?

Having a snack? ;o)

I wouldn’t mind the rain so much, if it were a warm rain...

Thanks SS.
Only about 30 more days until I see colors like that.

And then I'm goin' Macro Crazy with the wife's flowers. And the ever present Bumble Bees ;-)

Either North Dakota is in some wacky date zone or the publik skools really suk.

We are in a wacky date zone, and the picture was taken a couple years ago. Temp was zero - they call it the donut here - when I got up this morning.

Gorgeous pictures! Where were they taken?

A rippin' roarin' rainstorm wasted away all my snow last night, so maybe, just maybe, spring is on the march here.

These came from the St. John's County Arboretum, West of St. Augustine, Florida.

It's just a couple of miles from my home.

My 13-yo daughter, x-country sking - having a snack. Beautiful day. But I was worried about getting rained on - yuck. And yes, the place looked pretty “fishy”. Might have to go back in a month or two!
