It was so nice out yesterday that I sat on the front porch and was listening to the birds and enjoying the for-once warm sun, when I happened to look down at the debris my roof had deposited after it dumped its load of snow, and there SHE was!! I love the way her leaves pushed right through the old oak's from last year. Everybody outta her way. Spring has finally sprung. :)PJ

Nice macro of the crocus PJ. The orange in the middle looks like a lovey fairy doing her magical dance. She looks beautiful in her Purple/White ballroom.

What a great post and can it be that spring is here. Makes me want to take a walk down by the lake.

Have a good evening PJ.

She's definitely determined. I love your description of her, makes me look at her as a feisty little thing. Nice observation and shot PJ.

No roses in the snow, but a crocus (between the remaining parts) of the snow (if I see this correct).
Wonderful image PJ. Love its clarity.
