Ahhh. The Spring.

With such joy, we see the beginning of the Spring, starting with the Grape Hyacinths, the Apricot blossom & the Wild Daffodils . The first Swallow scout appeared on the 10th of March, which even for here, is a bit early, his friends arrived about the 21st, preceded by the Hoopoe & the Cuckoo. What joy !! Once it starts, everything seems to break into flower/blossom. Here are a few photos of the flora. The orchids will be along fairly soon.
   

These lovely little grape Hyacinths just pop up in the meadows.
