More Willie - Fav Photos 2018

the Snow Drops

It was another lovely, very cold, sunny day, so I wanted to try take advantage of the few spring flowers managing to actually bloom in our slow, cold spring. There was a house near the lake whose front lawn was covered with huge clumps of snow drops, so we went there, and I asked if I could take some photos among their flowers...

"Is Spring Ever Coming??"

The daytime temperatures had been hovering around freezing for weeks, and it was snowing out there again.
Spring flowers have started sprouting, but they are struggling. Where's Spring??

"I think I need to have a talk with Mother Nature about this..."

"In the meantime we can build a snowman...."

More Ice and Snow

In mid-April, we experienced an ice storm - first freezing rain, then a couple of centimetres of ice pellets, then more freezing rain.

"I don't suppose there's room under there for me??"

"I'm really sick of this ice and snow!!"

"Sorry, there's not enough room..."

"I didn't think so..."

"Maybe you can find some other place dry and warm?"

Bunnies in the Scillas

The blue scillas are in bloom along the town-line again, but they are so overgrown with dog-strangling vines that it's become rather challenging to take photos there anymore.

I did spot Willie and some fairies making friends with some bunnies....

the Unicorn

We discovered a new spot covered with carpets of blue scillas, down by the lake, and it was the perfect spot for some photos of the newly finished unicorn........and some fairies, and Willie, of course.....
