Show me: Signs of Spring

[ElizK]

We can't seem to decide if it's winter or spring...our spring from two weeks ago turned into winter last weekend...

...then turned back into spring...

[and those are the same flowers - hardy little guys, aren't they?]

Those ARE some hardy daffodils!!!

My dad took a picture this time last year in the Hill Country part of Texas. It was bluebonnets covered in snow! Very weird for Texas. His picture won a ribbon at the State Fair of Texas, though!

I finally had a few bulbs bloom (still waiting on those stubborn tulips & grape hyacinths):

Signs of spring here in the foothills, but heard this morning that we may get some freezing rain Friday morning. High 70's today though.

Spring here means the weather is warm enough to go back to the beach:

But not everybody is quite ready to go in the water:

Others never lost that desire:

From someone in upstate NY with 3 ft of snow still in parts of our yard - I love seeing all of your signs of spring! Makes that waiting for spring to arrive here a little easier!

[OK!]

At least the signs by the lake warning of unstable ice no longer make sense...

first signs in my yard spring could be just around the corner

Here's one from last January off of Waikiki, Hawaii...There are 2 sailboats in the photo. (I was on another boat.) Doesn't that just scream spring & summer?

Finally! I have a little spring in my garden. It's not much...'cuz I'm not much of a gardener. But it is encouraging

Amy you are farther along than us...so far just a few things blooming here and the crocus in my yard got dug up last year( septic system overhaul) so this is from a park . i am not even sure what they are, just looked like "sunshine" to me

Sunshine, indeed! I don't know what they are either, but they sure are encouraging.

Found a local spot on Carol Leigh's California Wildflower Hotsheet that had some reports of wildflowers nearby, so I took about a 1-1/2 hour hike this morning.

Great pictures all. I posted these on another thread but they fit here as well- they just popped up a week or so ago.

also posted in the S3/S5 area:

Both images are of flowers on the same tree. The weather people say there will be a nice frost tonight/early tomorrow. But it's been so nice otherwise.

Here are a few pictures from this weekend. The first is from a Japanese Cherry tree in our yard.

This one is some flowers I found on a walk. I don't know what they are.

And this last one are some azalea blooms. This is right up against our house which gets the afternoon sun, so it is warmer than the rest of the yard. Most of the bush has not bloomed yet.

the purple ones look like violets.(i love them and johnny jump ups but so far only a few puny crocuses are up in my yard and those i didn't plant)
