Signs of the spring Ⅰ




　　　　The Ume blossoms (Japanese apricot) have begun to bloom from the middle of February.








　　　　The Ume blossoms flower earliest in the Far East.
　　　Thereafter, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms will bloom in sequence.

　　　　The wind is still cold.

    Por aquí también esperamos ver las flores del cerezo en breve, aunque parece que el frío aún no quiere dejarnos.

    Preciosos los colores con las que resaltas estas flores.

    Great!!

    Oh you're so lucky & I'm so jealous! They're gorgeous... I think Spring has forgotten about us here in Southeast Missouri, USA! It was warmer over the weekend, but the temp has dropped yet again & it's COLD! I'm so longing & wishing for springtime! I miss the flowers & blooms & the smell of fresh cut green grass!

    I enjoy your photos, Ruma. Over here we have a very bad weather. It is not cold but rainy and very windy. I do not like when the wind blow too strong.
    I hate winter and am waiting for the first signs of srping.
    Have a good day.
