in bloom

Two weeks ago I was surprised to see plum blossoms in the neighborhood. They're usually the first of the season, but this was January 25th.
Since then I've seen some delicate little yellow bell-shaped flowers on another tree, and a variety of bushes starting to go as well. There have been a few days with 17°C weather but I've seen it snow in April in this city, so I was a bit surprised.
But then, in perpetual semi-isolation due to the pandemic, time has ceased to have a lot of meaning. What's February when you're doing the same thing every day for a year.
I'm putting together a collection my recent walk-about pics here. Photo collection 500 on this website!
