First crocus of spring

March 23, 2014 by Mike Powell

Yesterday afternoon, my dear friend and fellow photographer Cindy Dyer called to alert me that there were some crocuses blooming in her garden. The lighting was wonderful and the dirt in the background provides a simple backdrop for the gorgeous colors of this little spring flower.

OH, that is so beautiful! Just a few more days and I think they’ll be poking their heads up out in the NYC suburbs too!

Saw my first daffodils yesterday. If we just make it through Tuesday night, I think we can tell winter, “Good-bye”!

It’s nice to see it. I think it’ll be a week or two before we see them here.
