crocus in the snow

These crocus were poking their way out of the snow in Humlegården.

The last snowman standing?

After snowing hard for several hours yesterday morning, by the afternoon it turned to almost rain which soon made way for bright sunshine. By 5.30, a lot of the snow had melted. But its traces could still be found in Humlegården where I found several snowmen and a new one being created while another boy made a snow angel. I also found crocus and the first forsythia I’ve seen blooming this year. Today, the snow is practically gone. Ah, it is springtime in Stockholm.

The bright sun and warmer temperatures were quickly melting the snow.

Oh come on, with your lovely images and poetic words you almost make it seem bearable! Bring on spring!

Lou Lou, You make me laugh! Thanks for that. While I want spring, logic tells me this is Stockholm and I will likely have snow again. Sigh.
