Spring harbinger

Every year it's the same but I think I'll never get used to the long, grey, dark and wet Dutch winters. They are simply too long! How I envy those of you who are living in the warmer regions of the earth..

Well, at least the snowdrops are blooming already. The daffodils will follow soon, I hope.

 

It's not a very good season for outdoor animal photography either. That roe deer buck I see every day with his antlers still covered in velvety skin has been pulling long noses at me, every time I tried to capture him. I hope I still have a week left before he'll start wiping the velvet off. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

 

Last weekend I had put up the blind in the garden. This little Spring Harbinger made me forget the cold for a while. The brown dead leaves of the beech hedge made for a wonderful warm background. I can totally relate to his longing look at the skies.. :-)
