Spring is Here

Happy first day of Spring!  Yesterday I found some daffodils blooming at Lake Gregory in a sunny spot...
and a robin who was very suspicious of me and my camera.  He kept hopping around so much, only stopping every few seconds to glare at me, I had a hard time getting a photo! 


The pussy willows were just beginning to poke their heads out from under the covers...
and a most welcome sight was a little water running in a seasonal creek that flows into Lake Gregory. 
However, the lake is still down by about eight feet.  This is the lowest I've ever seen it, due in part to the manual lowering of the lake so the dam could have some much needed work done (they're still not finished) and due in part to the lack of rainfall this winter. 
It's still beautiful though.  We're supposed to get another rain storm coming in tomorrow, and this is supposed to be a really wet, warm one from the south Pacific.  I hope the rest of March and all of April is as rainy as the first part of March has been!

  3. So pretty!
    Spring has yet to be sprung here in southeastern Alberta, but the sky is blue, so I'm not!

  5. Some signs of spring is so encouraging. The daffodils are lovely. Here in Japan, different from last week spring-like weather, it’s shivering today and is snowing in Tokyo. Snow on Vernal Equinox Day is so unusual.
