Signs of Spring

Tue, 02/08/2022 - 11:47 -- Vancouver

Three weeks into the new year, with snow merely a chilly memory, rain holding off, and the sun hiding behind grey clouds, I set off for a walk in my local park, Stanley Park, looking for signs of spring. I am especially in search of flowers. 

In January?

I realize that January, even in temperate Vancouver, is rather too early in the year to be looking for signs of spring, but I find them nevertheless.
