Valentine’s Day tulips enjoying a sunbath.Snowdrops in early March…..a promising sign.But then it snowed…..covering up the crocus tips.And then it snowed some more – 3 snow storms and 3 ice storms in March. I’m more than ready for spring. The only good thing about this time of year is that it melts quickly, allowing for a walk in the park.These seagulls are tired of freezing their tails off. Some winters the bay freezes over deep enough to allow ice fishing, but this year it was just thin sheets of shifting ice. The resident ducks foraging for food….there’s a shortage of french fries this time of year.It makes you want to fly south….. (action shot taken with old camera, it’s been too cold to take the new camera out when I’m still trying to figure out the settings)….or stay inside and bake bread…(my new favorite find – good with chili or soup)….and dream of summer days again. (The Luncheon of the Boating Party is one of my favorite paintings, but I don’t know about this puzzle, the pieces are so tiny….)
