Pussywillows that started opening a month ago are now fulfilling their destiny. These are the willow flowers. Some will develop golden stamens, others greenish pistils.
On sunny lawns, crocuses and snow drops are flowering where a day or two ago there was ice and snow.
And in snowy ditches Colt's foot is turning its face to the sun. This dandelion look-alike can be identified by its scaly stem and by its lack of leaves when flowering. Colt's foot is an alien and it's a bit invasive, but it sure is a welcome sign of what's to come.
