Slow in coming this year, a few spring blooms are finally here
I love this photo of this swan showing how agile it's neck is. Notice that the water is not frozen. But moving clockwise, last weekend we still had ice on a local reservoir in the town just south of East Gwillimbury. Note that the willows are growing yellower by the day and daffodils in sunny places on the south side of buildings) are forming buds.Azaleas have buds since last autumn but they do seem to be swelling... but that may be my imagination living in hope. Galanthus (snowdrops) are blooming as are purple crocus.

spring is coming and seems to move at her own pace. I love your purple crocus.
beautiful swan neck, yes!
Spring is slow to come here too---not because of snow and ice but because of cold and that danged rain--Too much.
But it is showing up. MB
ahhh . . . beautiful bits of spring. thanks for sharing.
Signs of spring are such a welcome sight. Especially THIS year.
Your notes on April have been GREAT!
Have a nice week
The neck of that swan is the first thing I noticed...it does not look real! And I did notice the water not frozen!
P.S. Do you wonder how long it will be till we are complaining about the heat, the humidity, etc?
Super Spring Shots!

Wonderful seeing signs of spring in your neck of the woods. The photographs of the swan are classics. Great post!
That almost makes my neck hurt,just looking at that Swan.
Your Galanthus are a joy to behold, I miss them so in Australia. The sap of our willows starts running in mid-winter and adds a wonderful splash of red and gold to the landscape in the darkest part of the year. Unfortunately they are considered an imported weed on riverbanks and in certain states are being eradicated. The excuse is that they erode the riverbank, yet from my observation they stabilise it. It is the eucalypts that are swept away by the floods not the willows.
I suppose scientists can be morons too.
Your crocus are a delight and soon you will be treated to the full force of spring.
Oh, yes, the swan pic is extra special ~ it reminds me of a very graceful dancer.
The picture of the swan is absolutely amazing. I like your beautiful collage -- Spring is definitely coming.
I love all the colours in your collage, and what a handsome swan!
The swan is adorable!
I love your pictures!

Beautiful spring views!! Please tell me where I can find some of my own. :D
Beautiful pictures and I particularly love those delicate little crocus.
East Gwillambury sounds like a Welsh name. Love to hear how a Canadian town got such an interesting name:)
It is slow and as I watch it snow here... I am very much looking forward to the warm weather whenever that is...Michelle
Magnificent!! You are clever! :)
Spectacular photos, especially that swan. You are right, amazing how agile he is :D
