Spring is here!

[gamiila]

And so, instead of just dashing to the shops and back to the comforts and warmth of home again, today I took a leisurely stroll and a few pictures - none of which will win any awards, but they'll serve to substantiate my belief that spring is here.





crocusses...



crocusses everywhere!



snowdrops...



and hurrah! the storks have come back to their enclosure



though I don't know where this fellow's come from...
