Springing

[AlanLichty]

Yesterday felt like spring had arrived with bright sunshine and almost record temperatures (69.3º). Flowers that weren't there the day before were suddenly blooming so I couldn't resist grabbing some shots before the rains return next week. Here are a couple of scenes from the last two days.

C&C always welcome.

Many thanks Eric - it was nice to get out and see these types of scenes again after months of gray.

Sweet! Spring is popping early!

That's great you caught the bee as well.

Thanks Jim - there are two bees in the frame and as of today a boatload of white and purple crocus blooms behind where I was standing when I shot this. Daffodils and hyacinths are starting and will be out before this next week is done.

Thanks Oliver - our rains headed south for your benefit so we ended up with some record high temps. Back to gray at the moment but the sunny days woke everything up and we have lots of blooms now.

Nice images Alan. There WILL be more winter before the real spring arrives!

Thanks Jeffrey - of course there will be more. I lived in the Rockies for 30 years. Spring Break was when you went south to enjoy someplace that was warm.
