A walk with Mama

Today was a lovely last day of spring. Though it clouded over late afternoon, the early afternoon was sunny and not too warm. I took Mom for a walk along one of the trails in St Jacobs.

Spring fun

This is such a wonderful time of year to take pictures. The golden light of morning and evening can make for some lovely photos. Here are some I’ve taken in the last 24 hours:

Signs of Spring

Spring 2015 has been very slow in coming, but coming she is! Here are the signs I’ve seen over the last few days. (I will be adding pictures as more spring things appear.)
