In addition to the nearby tennis matches, you’ll hear the sounds of the courting Great Blue Herons back in their Stanley Park colony.

It’s nice to have the Stanley Park seawall open once again, and enjoy Siwash Rock.

All right. We know that, as far as Canadian climates go, we’re spoiled in Vancouver. Still, we’ve earned these first blossoms by virtue of the record breaking cold weather we had these past few weeks. Forget the calendar; spring is unfurling, and not a moment too soon!

They’re baaack ... and action around Vancouver’s Pacific Great Blue Heron colony this morning suggests that it won’t be long before we see this year’s chicks.

A lovely Scottish swan in profile - you’ll find an abundance of these forward beauties (looking for food, I think) at St. Margaret’s Loch, in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh.

Closer to home with these sweet crocuses - you can feel and smell the change in the air these past couple of days, and we’re expected to reach 16 and higher Celsius in the week to come. At last!
It’s doubtless plans to be back in England and Scotland this spring that have me going back through pics from the last couple of visits. Here, beautiful Belgravia.
