Whoa We are still in a deep freeze! Lots of snow! A picture like that is 5 months away!
Great picture Love the contrasting colours!
Love the color Barbarian, great shot!
I just steeped out the back door and shot this. I have never seen these bloom in Jan. Our winter here this year has been fantastic, 60's in the daytime and 40's at night. Who could ask for anything better.

Here is our long range forecast as of this morning. Unreal for Feb.

I think spring is already here.!
That shot of the tree and field was from last year. It's not that good yet. But Mrs. B's daffodils are up, although not yet blooming. Her snapdragons have one stalk with blooms, though, and one of the rosemary has the little blue blooms. It's been very warm this year.
Did you see the data on blooming dates for the U.S.? It seems that the earliest dates for many plants has been steadily moving earlier and earlier.
We haven't had much a winter here yet, but I'm with Judy...that scene is several months off for us, too! Do you know what the red flowers are in the field?
Ken they are Indian Paintbrush! Aren't they beautiful!
We have a couple of inches of snow on the ground and I haven't seen any indication of new growth, but there has been activity at the birdhouse outside the window in this room.
Today we have snow and freezing rain. ugggg
love the first picture with the tree and field of wild flowers!!!
beautiful!!!
