SpROIng

What a difference a week makes.  It is truly spring in Victoria now.

The herons are much more active, flying back and forth with twigs in their beaks as they renovate their nests.  Their nesting colonies are much in evidence ... the paths are littered with white spots from their droppings.  We now need to be careful where we walk .  SPLAT!!

The snow drops are all gone, replaced by crocuses and daffodils.  The rhodos, camellias and azaleas are in bloom.  So are flowering currant, flowering quince ... 

And the cherry trees - wow, what a show!
