I love seasons and spring and autumn are my favourites so its so wonderful to see so many signs spring is coming around. Today is my father\u00c2\u00b4s birthday so I thought I would document the day and the signs spring is a-coming.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This is the back yard currently, the sun is shining bright and the snow is melting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Snow melting back from the house, midwinter snow was covering windowsill and our cute little splant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Love the bright blue sky behind the budding blossoms. Even though snow is still onthe ground these trees believe sring is coming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
See snow on the ground and trees are sure spring is coming. Good to see these signs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
This rock face was covered in snow only a few weeks back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Road
This road has had a hard winter, potholes all along it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A steady flow of water is flowing over this rock as the sun melts the snow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I love the way the bright sun today just makes this evergreen so vivid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I am kinda waiting for the rose bushes to decide spring is coming too. At the moment they are kinda beautiful in their stark thorniness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Their bright red hips are what helps them look beautiful, even though they have been damaged by the ravages of winter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Here is the valley below, odd to me that the snow clings to the valley floor, I am used to it clinging to the high places.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u00c2\u00b4s a beautiful day today, got very warm out on walk even in mid-lengthed sleeves. Norway is a country for those who love seeing the seasons change as the changes are so dramatic, and wonderful.<\/p>\n
