For years I have rushed out to take a photo of the first crocuses (croci?) up in my garden.
After the monochromatic season of winter, it’s so wonderful to see colour.
These bulbs opened their faces the day after the ice storm that tore through Ontario and Quebec.
That next day, spring arrived and seemed almost over-eager with hot weather and clear sunny days.
It’s a week after I took these photos and the croci are starting to show signs of being done for the year.
Time moves so fast and spring is such a short season. I’m trying my best to breathe it all in and take notice.
Everything is starting to turn green and poke up out of the ground.
I’m amazed at this sedum, though. It emerged from the snow as green as it was in the fall.
Maybe next year I’ll try to stay green all winter, too.
