These little iris are only about 10 cm (4 in) tall but they don’t let a little cold and snow stop them from bursting!
These were blooming in a neighbour’s yard about 10 days ago. I was surprised to see them as despite appearances, I thought they only grew in the most southern parts of Canada.
Happy Thursday.
We were above 0C and wildly melting, but Snow and Wind happened.
It’s not supposed to last though, and Melt will return!
Happy Sunday.
Now here is a hardy spring bulb!
The Arctic crocus usually blooms through the snow and actually requires four to six months of cold weather in order to develop.
Nature’s adaptations are amazing!
Happy Saturday.
We have a lot of snow that’s in its melting phase.
So great! Happy spring.
At least not for now, because we have had a major rise in temperature accompanied by sun!
The change from -21C (-6F) on Friday to today’s +8 (46F) has been huge, resulting in lots of water running everywhere and pond-sized puddles in yards, parking lots and soccer fields. I got a shower trying to get into the house!
You can see how much snow from the house eaves has already melted since a week ago.
Happy Tuesday!
Heavy overcast with snowy rain falling …
Happy Monday.
Yes, spring icicles are springing up, or rather, down, everywhere.
We’re supposed to have warmish weather over the next couple of days, so these icies will grow a lot. For safety, I’ve knocked down the ones over the door and will probably have to keep doing so for a while. There’s a lot of snow on that roof!
Happy Tuesday.
Just a pair of pretend bunnies posing in the snow as lovers. Here specially for those who like a bit of the cute. *****…*****A few of my pictures …

A very cute photo from Stuart. 🙂
I am not a smoker, but I couldn’t resist a picture of this bristling butt disposal depot. Ugh. While I can’t imagine standing out in this cold for a puff – and I totally get why no one has bothered to clean this thing – I guess any proverbial butt in a storm will do!
Happy Sunday.
Southward bound …
.. for a while departing the beauteous north toward a warmer south …
… a wing to carry us.
Happy weekend.
