Boomerang should come around & title this one as saying-"there's always hope"

beautiful pic

as for the other..can't quite see the buds very well but i believe you..heh

Trust me, they're there  

It's been raining a couple of days, but earlier today in the forest the sun broke out. It was beautiful and tranquil accompanied by birds.

Great pics @Octo

Thank you  

Also I have developed a pollen allergy which sucks. Right now alder and birch are blooming and I have a runny nose.

I was walking past this house today and against a south facing wall of this house there was a bird cherry with both leaf and flower buds.

You can spot it best furthest to the right

I take a lot of pics when I'm out walking. And I walk a lot.

I delete many of them, mainly because they're blurred due to Mason pulling the leash and me trying to take a pic with mittens and a couple of poop bags 😬

This is also what typically happens 

Have a great weekend folks

It finally warmed up! It's 17C today and it's going to stay in that neighborhood for a while they say.

Although it's dry and dusty af. Grass fire warning in place. It's going to green up in no time at all!

Meanwhile we have these cuties littering roadsides and ditches, they're the earliest wildflower around here.

It's freaking wonderful right now, spring sprang overnight basically.

Took this today:

And it's t-shirt weather  

This I snapped this morning around 7:30 

The green on the ground in the bottom left corner is ground elder which has been used as food and medicine for hundreds of years at least. It grows everywhere around here and is about as exciting to eat as kale 😬

This is the absolute best time to start enjoying nature's bounty, all the greens are so tender and mild.

Fireweed sprouts can be used as asparagus only 100% cheaper!

Vitamin galore! Spruce sprouts are full of vitamin c! God provides!
