Sign of Spring

There are very small signs of Spring on my daily walks, seen better through my 60mm lens than the naked eye. This is the time of year when we have to look closely for signs of beauty amidst the dead of winter. ( I always think this tiny little bud looks like it was sprinkled with sugar).
Grateful today for...the hope of spring through the lens of my camera...freshly baked banana bread....chocolate chip biscotti cooling on the counter.
