First ephemerals …

… of the season.  Snowdrops and crocuses pushing through on a south slope along Tower Rd. west of the Rockwell Azalea Garden on the Cornell Campus.

It started snowing right after I shot these. By the time I got home, any ephemerals that may have decided to show themselves here were covered.

  1. Looking good and no denying spring. Usually if the snow doesn’t hang around too long the flowers can make it. The Crocus are smart, it closes up during bad weather.

  2. Oh wow… I would be doing cartwheels had I seen those around! I can’t wait for spring this year, although generally I love winter. (Might have something to do with this blasted blizzard watch we have for tomorrow?!)

  3. So far, no signs of spring in my corner of the Finger Lakes, but I am so heartened by the fact that you’ve seen actual green living things in the landscape not too far from here. Hurrah!!!! Hurry on, spring!
