Referring to THIS ONE our friend Raj said in his comment: "It doesn't look like winter at all with all the greenery."

I replied by PM: "It's perhaps hard to believe but in my garden and some other places in my area some flowers (like snow flakes, crocuses and daffodils) are already blooming now. On my south side terrace the Spanish daisies have bloomed all 'winter'."

Therefore this Foofy Friday contribution.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The foofy looks great against the background of dried out leaves. Hard to believe they are blooming already. I guess you will be sun tanning at the beach long before we will over here, too. Excellent post for this cold, cold Fx2, Mr. C.

It really stands out against the leaves that are doing their job enriching the soil, SEA.
I am more then ready for Spring.

Lovely blooms Mr. C., Spring can't be too far behind. You are quite lucky to have areas in your garden that are blooming. In our neck of the woods, we might just see the beginning of Crocus and Daffodils by mid to late March. Beautifully captured as always!!!

Cornelius - If any of these flowers are blooming in our garden, they won't be seen for a while - several feet of snow needs to melt first. Very pretty!

You've got to be kidding me, they would have to fight through around 6ft of snow here. This gorgeous image makes me feel we might have a chance for spring here maybe in late May
