Spring is here.

While the calendar may insist it’s still a few days away, these crocuses in the backyard beg to differ.

Bright and cheery.

It feels like spring has been a long time coming. Seeing these bright and cheery crocuses blooming is a very good reminder that yes, spring is coming if not here.

Words fail.

Mere words fail to describe how lovely these crocuses are.

Late.

I as a little late in the day to capture these crocuses in full bloom.

Cheery

The crocus are finally emerging. It’s been a slow and cold spring. No amount of worrying, anxiety, wishing will make spring come any sooner. The seasons turn when they do and it’s good to accept that.

We do not know where this little jewel came from; it has made itself quite comfortable under the Manitoba maple.
