Brightly coloured crocuses greet us in the park
There is still snow in the mountains - and since I took this, there have been
fresh snowfalls!
The two humps are called: Tour de Mayen on the left and Tour d'Aï on the right.
When I walk for about 25 minutes up the hill (all the way) above my neighbourhood,
I can see this lovely view!
The best part is going down the hill again all the way home!
In February, as the days got longer,
I heard the first blackbird sing in the morning and early evenings!
Such a joy!
I also love the beautiful shapes of the trees and their branches without leaves.
These two mono shots were taken in my neighbourhood.
A visit to the local florist's shop to see what beautiful blooms were available.
I asked her if I could take her photo while she prepared a bouquet for a client.
She kindly agreed.
I noticed the wonderful lines and curves of some graceful pink lilies
I brought a bouquet home with me.
They're such impressive big flowers
The stamen are glorious seen through a macro lens.
When they had passed their beauty and starting to shrivel up,
I put them on the balcony and a snowstorm made them look beautiful again.
One day I needed to go downtown and loved passing these street musicians
playing happy traditional jazz.
They were putting everyone in a good mood!
It was one of those sunny days with a perfect blue sky.
This is the St. Laurent Church
close to where the music was being played.
The pigeons were lined up enjoying the view.
Who can resist tulips in the spring?
These came home with me when the lilies had finished their blooming.
They opened up to a beautiful shade of red.
So perfect against the back lighting.
Things have been very busy on the crochet front.
This is my temperature blanket so far
January and February temperatures are represented here.
They range from 0 to 18C.
Our weather has been changeable and now we are entering a colder period again.
It seems that March is coming in like a lion
even though today is very sunny.
The weekly creations of flowers continues.
These layered ones. Really lovely to create.
Roses too, made from three different patterns.
