Spring Is In The Air 1

Between some remaining leaves of last Fall, new crocusses have popped up in our garden (think however it's better to speak of the garden of my wife, lol). I didn't hesitate to capture them as they give me really the feeling that Spring is in the air now (temperature is 12° C/53.6° F now in Zeeland, The Netherlands) . Captured this image on Saturday, February 21th, 2009.

Hope you'll enjoy this post. Thank you in advance for any comment.

Beautiful spring flowers Cornelius! I also believe that spring is in the air because today is the third day that we have temperatures of 4°C and more. All signs of snow have vanished.

Eindelijk Cornelius! De lente, het leven begint weer jong te worden. Zelf heb ik nu al een broedende parkiet in de voliere! Van deze post word ik erg blij vriend! Groet Michel

I always love the first crocuses popping up - these are a very lovely colour Cornelius - and a sure sign of Spring.

Where, where? We have them here also, but they sure won't be here for some time yet. Very nice shot, and great reminder of nicer weather ahead.

No spring in sight over here. Just a lot of cold and snow. I am ready for sights like in this picture. A very pretty sight indeed. So colorful, and well presented, Mr. C.

Nice colourful crocuses Cornelius. Every time i start to think spring is here, in comes another cold front. In the 70's a few days then back down to the 20's. Nice post

Beautiful Cornelius. I'm sure looking forward to the coming spring when the crocusses pop up here. They are such pretty little flowers and so many colours. Wonderful lighting, clarity, contrast and composition. The framing brings out the colours, bravo

What a lovely sign that warmer days are advancing. Still below 40F here, but it seems you have that gulf current that warms you up a bit faster over there. Beautiful crocuses. My compliments to your wife as well.

I really like the symbolism of the leaves nurturing the new flowers. Hope your spring is there C. I will look forward to seeing more shots.

Good health to you and yours.
