Snow on the balcony

the type I like to see in February:

snowdrops,

Galanthus nivalis

    & snow crocuses

Crocus chrysanthus

Sunshine...

bright colour...

and fresh buds on a living fence (willow, perhaps)...

 ... an inviting path to the vernal equinox this past Sunday afternoon.

For three, blissful hours we walked with frequent stops to view spring emerging and unfurling.

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.
