For me, daffodils are the number one signal that Spring has arrived! In Colorado where I was raised, crocuses, and even hyacinths, always arrived before it really was Spring and they poked their buds out of the snow. Not that it didn't snow occasionally on the daffodils, but by the time the tulips arrived, it was May and almost time for summer. In a state where winters are long, but thankfully intermittent, the arrival of Spring was always special.
Now we live in the Tampa Bay area and are experiencing the gentlest of winters this year - fantastic after the last two years where it was not so nice. I know it's all relative, and Florida winters do not compare to icy, cold winters in the higher latitudes of the continent, and that's what makes me so genuinely appreciate the lovely winter we have had this year!
Gorgeous sunset on the Gulf
I chose this photo, because of its simplicity. There is a ritual every evening that the weather is nice, there are always lots of people celebrating sunset on the beach.
