Here's hoping that flowers start blooming for you soon! :) @jason -- Yes, I saw a pelican with its horn over in Rockwall a couple of weeks ago. I'm ready for warblers now! @Diane C. -- Thanks for visiting. Glad you enjoyed the pictures, and I hope you find some signs of spring. @Mel -- Gracias para tu comentario. ¡No, no hay nieve para acá! :) Un abrazo. @Nancy — I’ve never seen the yellow Erythronium in person, but they look lovely.

I've been amazed with how early life began to emerge (lizards and turtles showing up by mid-January!). Even the pelicans here at the lake are already donning their breeding best--including the horn on top of their bills. No matter the date, it certainly <i>feels</i> like spring already...

I checked the dates on my photos from last spring (our native Trout Lilies here are yellow and I call them Dog-tooth Violets, but they are Erythroniums) Here in North-east PA they were in full bloom on April 25th. And, we don't have 18" of snow, but we have "plenty"! So, I enjoyed your First Day of Spring photos, although I did have to fight off some feelings of jealously! Nancy David,
