So, it really is here…

The goose family think so

These little darlings certainly weren’t in the Park on Friday.

My street is suddenly green

on one side, anyway

This is called “ pot of gold”

The tree above? Haven’t the faintest idea.

These pictures are from a trip to the Botanical Gardens yesterday

Magnolias— dropping their petals already
Rhododendron still spectacular
And these mysterious maidens

A close look makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. Rabbit ears and heel pompoms and the young lady in red has playing cards and a watch for a belt!

I don’t like these massed tulips

Too regimented for me but… up towards the right I spot a rebel- à yellow one! Good for her!

Below was the most exciting sight today

Daddy goose watching from the right side

what I really believe is a loon! All black, he would dive down for a long time and then appear quite far away. I’ve never seen one here before but, I really hope it is one. I’ll keep watch for him.

Enjoy the Queen’s Birthday tomorrow….Oops, I mean Fete des Patriots here in Québec. Sounds like Spring to me!
