Spring Has Sprung !

Here in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have had the mildest winter this year.
December of 2014, we only received one day of snow, and it melted within 24 hours. I guess, it can be said, we are pretty lucky, don't really have to deal with road plows, wet snow, however we still had our fair share of icy roads.  The only drawback is we never really got to ski or snowshoe. As most vancourites, most of us  thought, we were living the Olympics of 2010 all over again. Warm days and no snow. Good thing we were not the host this year for the winter games.

By mid March, we start seeing the Cherry Blossoms starting to come into bloom.  This is probably my most favourite time of the year. Natures way of making things  "pretty in pink" which should cure the winter blues.  For 2015, the trees received an head start.  

As we head into the end of March, most of the blossoms are starting to drop, and this becomes our "Spring Snow"  Here is a capture from a week ago.. across the street where I live.

I love the signs of spring, it seems to transport me back into time. When Spring had sprung, that was a sign, summer is almost here.. and soon school will be out !  



 Time to get out and enjoy a few more blossoms, before they are gone.


These were taken in the Cemetery in New Westminster, BC
