Springtime???

You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.
(Robert Benchley)

These beauties were in the garden of a friend of mine. Finally the sun has come out and their buds have at last opened to create this little blaze of colour! So, do we hope that this is the long-awaited beginning of spring? Well, if not, at least we enjoyed a beautiful day.
