It's the ides of February


Clear skies give us lovely sunrises. And by this time of the year, the sun is above the horizon by the time I get to work.


The skies are clear and the trees are swelling with sap.


Shadows are assuming such artistic poses.

and the fragrant box bushes are blooming ike an air=borne blessing.

  3. It looks like the beginning of spring (at least in your part of the country). More flower porn to look forward too :-)

    After seeing your photo (2nd from the top), I ventured out to check my sweet box, just outside the back step. Yes, its blooming - smells so good! How's your daphne coming? My camellia (japonica) which is usually blooming by now is just showing color.

    You scared me. I thought I had lost a week. The ides is either the 15th or the 13th, depending on the month. But I share with you the joy of the sneak peek of spring. :)

    Beautiful photos, Roxie. I woke up the other morning at 7:30, saw that it was light out, and double-checked the clock. Sometimes spring sneaks up on you.
