spring continues to arrive

[lizziebelle]

Bit by bit, we're finally getting some spring. I took a walk along the river today, and found more signs of winter's demise and spring's arrival.



The turtles were out in force, lining every log sticking out of the water.



Even the skunk cabbage is a welcome sight.



Not a lot of flowers yet, but the bees are happy with the dandelions.



I had the windows open today, and it felt wonderful. I am very happy that winter is in the past. Hard to believe that Beltane is only two weeks away! Before long, we'll have apple blossoms and lilacs. Ahhhhh, spring.

Turtles and skunk cabbage!

Your spring certainly takes a different path to ours!

I love the skunk cabbage. It is an awesome plant and one of the few that puts out significant amounts of heat.

It does indeed. I am enjoying your spring as well as mine. :)

I learned that a few years ago. I've often seen its flowers rising from the snow. I love seeing the green leaves unfurling before most everything else.
