Great photos. Are you behind the camera????

No flowers for me as of yet. But if this nice weather continues, I should have something soon.

I'm so happy you finally had some open. Spring is definitely here in Michigan now. Should get to 73 degrees today (Friday) Lucky us. Yahoooo!
It's hard to realize these beautiful daffodils are real; that others are having weather in the 70's. But THANK YOU, Joey, for "blowin" nice weather our way. It's gorgeous here today despite the foot of new snow we got yesterday.... My question is, why didn't you send it to us sooner???? :)

Jan ... With these awesome temps, I'm sure by the time you read this you have at least seen hints of Spring! Now blessed, we will all be running to play 'catch up' with the weather!

Like we haven't waited long enough, Jane Marie! At last ...

I too love daffs that herald Spring, Nancy B. Fun to smell and fun to photograph!

More good weather is blowin' your way, Nancy. Trust me. Even in Alaska, Winter can't last forever!
