It's been warm enough for the past few days that the sidewalks were finally free of ice & snow, so I walked down to Stanley Park in the sunshine this afternoon.
I finally got the closeup function to work properly on the camera, and snapped this magnolia bud, full of promise for spring.
( a winter's walk )
It was pleasant, but not particularly warm. A bit of breeze kept it from being a perfect walk, but it sure beat the heck out of most of this winter!
