Government House February 28, 2011

There was still evidence of snow by the end of the month. The pink rhodo blossoms (not shown) of a couple weeks ago had now turned to mush.

The sight of this lantern on the grounds warms my heart regardless of the weather.

There was still some colour to be found.

I don't know what this bush is but I like the silvery-coppery leaves. Funny how tastes change over the years. There was a time that I wouldn't have cared for this at all.

Crocus. There's a good sign.

And another sure sign of spring - Indian Plum.

Flowers & snow

February 21. Our anniversary was a cold, rainy day but blossoms were beginning to appear at the inner harbour.

But two days later, on February 23rd, we awoke to snow!
