Spring unsprung here. After a few weeks of 70 degree temps, we now have had 2 days and 2 nights of continuous snow and the temps are in the 20s. Maybe Spring will spring again next month.

Why heck, I though it would be summer in Florida by now. ;)

A whole weekend ago, all the way up north here in Ohio, I stopped walking the dog to take this picture of crocuses (croci?) alongside our driveway. With my cell phone. Before the deer ate them. Yup, by today they had been eaten.

I think you have to stop laying down to take the pictures, if you stand up then they will post that way here.

They should look like this and that is a nice sight to see. Do they have fragrance?

They do have a smell but it isn't strong or real fragrant.
The tree looks like this for about a week, drops all the blossoms of the ground and just looks like a weak tree the rest of the year.

The picture was taken about sundown that is why it is dark. The tree was about 6 to 8 feet higher than me on a small grade that may be why it looks like I might be laying down.

Rotational jokes seldom work I guess.

Nice cactus Dusty! Your pictures, however, are are risk. Someone on here will probably reduce all contrast and try to brighten the image to the extent that it's completely flat. In your case, he will probably try to sharpen it too. At least, your images are right side up. I like that cactus. It's the first one I have ever seen in bloom.
