Springtime is a case of one step forward and two steps backward in Toronto.
This is essentially the same view as the one below which was taken 4 days ago..
KInda hard to believe, isn't it?

Springtime
Victor Hugo, The whole lyre
Here are the long days, light, love, delirium!
This is the Spring! March, April with a sweet smile,
May flowery, June blazing, all the beautiful friendly months!
The poplars, asleep by the riverside,
Bow gently like great palms
The bird quivers at the far end of the calm, tepid woods
It seems that everything laughs, and that the green trees
Are joyful to be together and say verses to each other.
The day comes crowned with a fresh and tender dawn
The evening is full of love, the night, one can almost hear
Through the immense shadow and under the sacred sky,
Something happy singing in the infinity.

Printemps
Victor Hugo, Toute la lyre
Voici donc les longs jours, lumière, amour, délire !
Voici le printemps ! mars, avril au doux sourire,
Mai fleuri, juin brûlant, tous les beaux mois amis !
Les peupliers, au bord des fleuves endormis,
Se courbent mollement comme de grandes palmes ;
L’oiseau palpite au fond des bois tièdes et calmes ;
Il semble que tout rit, et que les arbres verts
Sont joyeux d’être ensemble et se disent des vers.
Le jour naît couronné d’une aube fraîche et tendre ;
Le soir est plein d’amour ; la nuit, on croit entendre,
A travers l’ombre immense et sous le ciel béni,
Quelque chose d’heureux chanter dans l’infini.
Welcome to my enchanting springtime backyard view! The Chugach Mountains stand majestically, their peaks cloaked in a fresh layer of snow that captures the eye. As I set out on my morning walk, the peaceful beauty of the snow gracefully falling from the trees provided a stunning backdrop to the 42-degree air. The clouds are thickening, hinting at even more snowfall on the horizon. While spring's arrival still feels uncertain, a glance out my window offers hope: a pair of tree swallows perched on the power line, perhaps pondering their early arrival in Alaska. But fear not, little birds; spring is not just a hope, it's a certainty, and I believe it will bring joy and renewal very soon!
East Penn GP38-2 2173 was arriving in Chadds Ford with its train from Oxford amongst some springtime Foliage.
The GP38-2 was built for the Belt Railway of Chicago and is leased from GMTX..
Finally starting to feel like spring again until this morning. Snow on the ground again and back to white. I was enjoying my walk last night and the late night sun on these pine needles made for a really cool looking bokeh.

Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is a woodland in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Strelley. It covers a total area of 15.11 hectares. It is owned and managed by The Woodland Trust.
I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.
Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
How to tell the difference.
English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.
Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.
