The weather this week has been a contrast. The past weekend and Monday were so spring like you could almost forget that it's still winter and the vernal equinox is a month away. But, just as I was about to dig out a pair of shorts to wear the weather changed. Tuesday was cold and gray and I knew it was still winter. But, just because the weather is changeable doesn't mean we can't see signs that spring is on the way. So, I walked around and made some pictures that show the fact that nature knows spring is coming.
