Although this was taken back in May, one of the first signs of spring is the return of the American Goldfinch.
binomial name: Shibateranthis pinnatifida Maxim.
The flower is about 2cm(4/5 in.) in diameter. The white part is a sepal and the yellow part (nectary) is a degenerated petal.

5枚の花弁のように見えるのはがく片で、実際の花弁は中心部の黄色い部分で退化して蜜腺となっています。その内側にある青紫色の部分はおしべです。

When I have errands to do on Saturdays, I often take a diversion / stroll through the city park (I have an annual ticket for the park) to wind down a bit. This time I was able to enjoy the first signs of spring and glorious sunshine. I stayed much longer than planned - watching the few adventurous bees buzzing about : ))
We have a photographic assignment for "signs" coming up and other than just posting an image of an actual sign, I took a more figurative approach for the "signs of change in seasons" - with a dusting of snow on the landscape. This scene is from November of 2021 in Central Ontario. The original color version appeared very flat because of the weather/light. Converting it to a slightly toned monochrome seemed to make it a bit more interesting to my eyes.
Here is a photo that I took, of a Coca-Cola sign, at a burger joint, on the north side of Houston Texas. Photo was taken back in May, 2022. Camera is a Canon 80D with a EF-S 18-135mm lens, with additional adjustments made in post-processing.
Olancha, Ca.
I don't usually post a lot of multiples of the same subject, but I loved this sign so much I'm going to post the other side.
Manly Surf Beach, Sydney.
Photographed earlier this evening, Monday 3rd January, 2022.
My daughters and I arrived at Manly Beach in the mid afternoon. It was still over 30 degrees celsius. Miraculously I was able to find parking that was not half way to Denmark.
After fuelling them up with ridiculously overpriced 'Mango Smoothies', we then walked north along Manly Beach to eventually reach Queenscliff.
Along the way we encountered an array of stormwater pipes, adorned with signs that declared:
'No diving or swimming near pipes'
How bizarre!! As if you would!!

Baby yellow tulip at Smith's Lyman Conservatory. Promises of a week of temperatures well above freezing = melting snow = signs of Spring. Have a great week, my friends!

I was helping a friend moving a sofa to his new apartment when we drove by this old house in the village of Montblesson. This house was standing there next to the road and I just felt in love with it. By looking at its wood facade you can feel the fingerprint of the time passing by.
