First Hints of Spring

Last year I took some photos in the streets of Vienna, presenting the work of the municipal gardeners:
April 2010

This is what the flowerbed looks like today:
March 2011
Last week the gardeners finally removed all the twigs which had been covering the tulip bulbs during the winter months.

April 2010

and this morning:
March 2011

One more month to go. I think I like the time while we wait for something to arrive. I hope this posting did not make you too hungry today, compared to the postings before.

I changed the labels to the right into a "cloud". I really like the clouds where something grows larger when it has more importance. It motivates me to focus on aspects I have not been taking care of lately, such as scrapping and Easter. Ok, Easter is a rare occasion.

    You are right: the best part is the anticipation of good things.
    Those tulips in the first picture are so pretty. I think the angle that you used made them look extra beautiful.

    not much longer until the flowers arrive. The cherry blossoms have just started here in Vancouver, along with the crocus and daffodils.

    Hey, I remember last year's shot -- gorgeous then, gorgeous now.

    I hear you on the impatience; though I enjoy seeing bit-by-bit progress I need more color around me!

    Adrienne, I still enjoy the anticipation. :-) It's quite cold in Vienna, still, 12°C max.

    Jen, cherry blossoms are one of my favourites. Especially without drunk Japanese business men sitting below them (Ueno park scenery/Tokyo)

    janet, it might take 2 more weeks until they show their colours.

    Stylishshowgirl, last year I started sharpening my senses, this year I am already in training. :-)

    Vix, I am glad you still like the photos in their second round.

    Hi Blighty! The 2010-tulips probably were the best ever. This year is probably down a notch. They will bloom very soon!
    There is not a single picture on any of our walls. Pretending the walls are made of paper, like in a japanese tea house or so ...
