Impending Bloom



It has been exceptionally cold and clear here in Seattle for the past week, but nevertheless Spring is getting ready to bust out all over the place. Just before the cold Arctic air moved in, I snapped these shots of our blooming camellia and an iris in the front yard. All of the trees are just about ready to break bud, and it looks like the apricot tree is going to have loads of fruit this year. I really love the winters here in Seattle, but I also look forward to the return of Spring!

By the way, I shamelessly appropriated the title of this post from an Oregon song of the same name.

Wow, spring in February. The idea of spring is far, far away here in Montreal.
