After a long, cold, dark winter spring is finally here. It's always such a joy to feel the sun in your face again and hear the beautiful bird song. The advantage of a tough winter is that you appreciate spring and summer. Perhaps just as a tough life makes you appreciate the good in life. Or maybe that is just crappy hobby philosophy and lack any connection to reality. Who knows? :-)

There is not much colour yet, as evident from the pictures, but it's not long now till the explosion when everything turns green. I can't wait!

I also took some summer pictures in this park (Hagaparken - Solna, Sweden) in June 2002 and they can be seen here. The difference in colour is quite amazing if you compare these pictures with those. But that's Sweden.
