Hello Spring! We've been waiting for you! You haven't changed a bit - still the same fresh face of my youth and childhood.
Winter's dark, cold days have been replaced here in Toronto, with bright, cold days. I stepped out into the streets yesterday, with only a light trenchcoat and beret. Look Ma, no gloves! It was a few degrees above freezing, yet felt so balmy.
While Vancouverites and Victorians post lovely pictures of crocuses, daffodils and cherry blossoms making their appearance in Canadian Westcoast gardens this month, our melted snow has revealed only discarded cigarette butts and candy wrappers.
Our flower shops, and grocery stores are bursting with every shade of pink, lavender, and yellow. Buckets of tulips and ranunuculus crowd flower shop sidewalks, like a greeting party. I picked up a bouquet of ranunculus, and combined them with tulips a dear friend had given me on the weekend.
It was late afternoon before I started photographing them. As clouds rolled across the sun, the light in one of the back bedrooms would change from bright, to soft, creating light and shadows. Nature was directing the blog theme: goodbye, Winter, hello, Spring!
