These little crocuses are some of the earliest flowers to appear, even if the snow is still there.

I am wearing my down filled winter coat.
However, I do enjoy all your pictures.
They remind me what spring could be like.
All flowers are starting to bloom, irises, Lilacs and many more.
It is beautiful to see nature in Spring.
Love,
Vicky

Dear Margherita,
Thank you for all the beautiful spring images.
We had a very cold winter and it is very good to see spring in all its beauty.
Spring has actually arrived here now with Magnolia trees, and other trees in bloom. This is my favourite season. Everything is young and fresh, and the colours are soft and delicate.
Love,
Inda

Beautiful images. Thank you kindly dear Margherita;
and thank you Inda for the lovely spring picture.
Let us enjoy spring because here the season is very short.
We will soon have very hot summer weather.
Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you

Wonderful pictures, dear Yoko and dear Inda. You make me dream of walking barefoot in that alley, while pink petals swirl in the air and the sweetness of life is revealed.
Love,

Spring is so beautiful. Everything is fresh and many things are in bloom.
Did you hear that winter’s over? The basil
and the carnations cannot control their
laughter. The nightingale, back from his
wandering, has been made singing master
over the birds. The trees reach out their
congratulations. The soul goes dancing
through the king’s doorway. Anemones blush
because they have seen the rose naked.
Spring, the only fair judge, walks in the
courtroom, and several December thieves steal
away, Last year’s miracles will soon be
forgotten. New creatures whirl in from non-
existence, galaxies scattered around their
feet. Have you met them? Do you hear the
bud of Jesus crooning in the cradle? A single
narcissus flower has been appointed Inspector
of Kingdoms. A feast is set. Listen: the
wind is pouring wine! Love used to hide
inside images: no more! The orchard hangs
out its lanterns. The dead come stumbling by
in shrouds. Nothing can stay bound or be
imprisoned. You say, “End this poem here,
and wait for what’s next.” I will. Poems
are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven -
All’s right with the world!
~Robert Browning
“April's air stirs in
Willow-leaves...a butterfly
Floats and balances”
― Matsuo Bashō, Japanese Haiku
We had quite a bit of snow here last night. All my little flowers are covered in snow.
We certainly had some snow.
We certainly had some snow, and more will come tomorrow.
“Despite the forecast, live like it's spring.”

Primroses, the Spring may love them;
Summer knows but little of them.
Wordsworth
A lot of my primroses survived the winter and now they are starting to bloom which means the spring is finally here.
Spring is here, but it has turned quite cold in our area, but I see little buds of all sorts coming up. Soon we will have beautiful blossoms and lovely spring colours.
I have little snowdrops blooming in the garden.
Spring has arrived with all its beauty. Enjoy the fresh flowers and buds,and the birdsongs.
Spring is definitely here, and it is a most beautiful season.
spring in all its beauty is still with us.The magnolia trees have been magnificent this year. We had just the right temperature.
Spring seems to be very slow in coming. It is cold but many little blooms are out.
I love your images yoko.
It feels like the squirrel picture here at the moment.
You are both right. It looks like the squirrely picture here at the moment, but little plants are trying to emerge.
The weather is finally warming up and I can hear the bird singing that have come back from the south.
