A touch of spring

We´ve had some nice weather lately, and finally things are starting to grow in the woods and in our garden. We live relatively high up from the city so spring comes even later than down by the fjord. Today it´s been snowing again, but luckily it´s supposed to be warmer weather next week.

More signs of spring

The snow is finally starting to disappear and the sun has been warming for a few days now. The next days it´s supposed to rain, but right not rain is so much better than snow.

Here are a few more early signs of spring. These shots were taken during the weekend. It feels quite weird to call mid-April early spring, but hey this is Norway for you. ;-)

I guess the next one needs explanation for you to understand that this is a spring sign. It is my son studying a spider that has woken up in the spring sun.

76/366 Coltsfoot

No, this is not a vegetable ;-) I decided to take a break from the theme when I discovered this first serious sign of spring downtown today. It always makes me happy to see coltsfoot. And I find it so fascinating how they can grow up between small stones and asphalt.
