Spring is peeking around the corner!

This morning I met my friend Rita for breakfast and enjoyed a lovely walk along the river.  The Witch hazel has burst forth and is making things look like Spring.

 The orange one has much denser and curlier blossoms.

 In Rita's garden a snowdrop was making an early arrival.

 These sparrows were taking advantage of the puddle left from Monday and Tuesday's rains.  The guy/gal on the right seems to be upset to be caught with a wet head.
This little yellow crocus just can't wait to start blooming!

I love this time of year as the plants start to wake up again and share their colours with us.
