Flowers and pussy willows

Pussy willows are starting to be beyond silky and cute, starting to turn into yellow pollen balls. Inevitable.

Flowers are popping up here and there, everywhere now. I noticed the first hepaticas in the forest and by the street a couple houses down, and there's some white flowers too, that resemble those other blue ones [edit. they are scilla sibericas].

 

The weather is still not too warm yet. Today it was +10C at best, but the wind was something quite horrid. It's been a game of rain and sun all day long, spring showers - even some ice balls at one point! - falling down every now and then. In the afternoon, the sky was covered in dark grey clouds, but by the evening and sunset, the sky was clear again.
