SOMETHING OF SPRING IN THE AIR

January walk 1.1 bis

January walk 3.1 bis
Unfortunately it hasn't snowed since weeks and I am missing it very badly now. I yearn for a white landscapes, frost and blizzard-like weather. In order for me to look forward to the forthcoming spring it is a must for me to have previously been able to enjoy a real winter with all the usual clichés...

January walk 5.1 bis

January walk 2.1 bis
Speaking of cold temperatures and snowstorms, well at the moment we are experiencing everything but that. A few days ago it was so warm (16° C/ 61 °F) that you could go out with a t-shirt. No need to tell you that our Saturday walk made us sweat!

What is even more crazy is that the birds have changed their way of singing and are now a lot louder than in December. They tweet in a very springy manner. Even nature has this typical bleachy brown, beige and green color that one can experience in March. Is this already the end of winter?

    Nous ne sommes qu'en janvier. Connaissant la région, pas sur qu'en février il n'y ait pas un retour aux températures bien froides !
    N'empêche que même en Norvège je n'ai pas de neige...

    I can't even imagine the end of winter right now! We just got more snow, and now it is simply frigid outside.

    That said, I still enjoy winter (for the most part).

    You big tease.

    You should see the world through my eyeballs. It's not quite as pretty or inspiring. But, it'll get there.

    It's pretty warm here as well, Spring is coming early, I can see my leucojum and some Narciscus blooming. How odd, I would expect that in March or April. let's just enjoy then.

    I so love the gold of your photos and the pale dusty green and white of the one landscape with the house in the center. Beautiful and they do feel like the end of winter and the hope of spring. We have beautiful little yellow and blue birds coming to enjoy the grains we've put out on the balcony and they do look so springlike!

    C'est tres etrange n'est-ce pas? Nous n'etions pas habitues a tant d'extremes. L'hiver est revenu ici, je viens de me faire une petite balade dans Paris, l'air etait froid et vif comme tu l'aimes, la lumiere incroyable.
    J'aime particulierement la photo de la borne de pierre.

    We are in the throes of Winter-almost every place covered in snow except for Florida. We are clawing trying to hold on with anticipation for Spring.

    The photos are beautiful. Landscapes that are emerging and will soon be a stunning green.

    Hope snow comes back to you soon as you wish it. I must say that 61 is still chilly for us. I can't imagine our family going without coats in that weather. I guess we have truly acclimated to Florida.

    How extraordinary. Isn't it quite early for spring, Rosa? Sure looks like it from your lovely photos.
    It's way over average here today and tomorrow and then it's going to get cold again.

    Rosa, I know that I am repeating myself but I cannot help it. Yourimages are mesmerizing. I think I understand what you mean about the snow and so on but I am sure that those in other parts of the world that were severly affected would switch place in an instant :)

    How interesting about the birds. They seem to know everything don't they. When we lived in the Bahamas, if a big hurricane was coming they disappeared. I think they knew.
