Browns are turning into green, blue, pink, yellow and white
Even though we did receive a dusting of snow this week, spring is beginning to grow green. See it in the grass beneath the feet of the Canada goose? Believe me, that was one very noisy goose. It honked and honked to warn me away from the end of a friend's pond. I'm thinking its mate is sitting on some eggs in a very private spot.
We have many more blossoms this week than last. Truth be told, none of them are very big so most of nature here is still looking fairly brown. But if you look closely you can now see buds and tiny red flowers on some maple trees like the one in the upper left square. Moving clockwise, yellow and often mistaken for dandelions, coltsfoot blossoms (Tussillago farfara) hug the ground at the sides of roads and in waste places without any leaves to accompany them. (The leaves will appear later.)
Pink Bethlehem Sage (aka lungwort or Pulmonaria) turn blue as they age. And the emergence of white Liverwort (Hepatica) means the woods will soon be coloured with spring wildflowers. Blooming profusely, Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) have temporarily coloured at least one East Gwillimbury front lawn blue.

Great series of captures... Love spring time
Wonderful! I'm glad spring is starting to show it's face there.
Miss Mosaic strikes again! Beautiful shots. I can tell you're liking this thing called spring.
P.S. It's practically summer here!
I saw some Canadian geese in Jackson this past weekend. I told them to stay there. THey really can make such a mess! :)

Bloomin’ lovely. Geese make great guard birds don’t they.
All the best, Boonie
A nice series showing spring is actually here. We had snow this week too, and sun, and rain. and that spring-like mix that looks so impossible...sunshine and snow at the same time. :-)
Some pretty Spring pictures
The colors of spring are lovely.Each new flower and leaf is a welcome sight.
It's good to see the colors of Spring in your mosaic. Hopefully you will have many more colors to share in the days ahead.
Lovely lovely!! I am glad Spring is finally arriving there. Since we don't get as cold as you do there and the snow cover doesn't last too long we are green all year long. I never realized that until I started blogging and seeing different countries and stuff. MB
Nice to see what's going on in your early spring neck of the woods. I think we're about a month ahead of you but you're catching up fast.
