WOW! these are week old!?! there is still snow here! amazing! (well, the snow is slowly melting away, just yesterday I had to drop it off my roof so it won't drop in my neck and kill me when I shut the door) very nice pictures! thank you so much for posting these!
Well, time of spring depends also here. As Treefox said, in the mountains (higher, colder) spring comes later, in the lower parts of the countries and especially in towns (always a few °C warmer) it's normally earlier. And of course, there are different sorts of the same plant-species/race. Some are earlier, some blossom later.
Winters became short and soft, lately. Back in the days in the mountains you could have also snow blocking your door entrance in the morning.
jaRf! Those are beautiful! I work in Frankfurt and live in the mountains, so I always get to the the crocus in bloom twice. I love them! A beautiful sign of Spring. Also, insects appreciate them!
Nicely taken photos as well! More!
Yes, some are a good opportunity for the early insects.
F.a.M. I guess? Mountains? The next "real" mountains are far away. In the northern part the highest on should be the Harz, to the south east it should be Thüringer Wald and Erzgebirge and to the south / south west you needed to travel all the way down Bavaria oder Baden-Württemberg to the mountains... that would mean you can only see your home on weekends?
These are some nice colours. Especially when the light is good, some coming from the back of the petal, shining through.
I had some problems with the white ones (snowdrops and ... uh, Märzenbecher) when the sunlight was shining on them (whiteout and not details). And I miss my old macro capable lens. I need money to get myself some more lenses for the camera. *sigh*
