I noticed today that much of the snow on our patio has melted and that patches of our garden are starting to emerge. In fact if I go to the left side of the garden I can walk down on grass all the way to the Adirondack Chairs overlooking the lake. They’re completely free of snow, as is a fairly large grassy area in front of them. The lake is still frozen but it looks as if Spring is actually on its way. Sometimes, particularly in a very bleak Winter, we forget that Spring does follow.

In anticipation of the coming Spring I thought I’d post a couple of bright, colorful pictures from previous years.

These were both taken in April 2010, the first (clearly tulips) with a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 and the second (I have no idea what kind of flower this is) with a Panasonic Lumix ZS-3.
