Snowdrops

 

It feels like it has been a late spring but I finally spotted some snowdrops last week. They had a warm spot with some large rocks behind them which they seemed to like. 

Warmer Weather

When the weather gets warmer all the fruits and veggies appear outside of the corner stores and fruit markets along Bloor St W. It is always a welcome sight and a good place for buying fresh produce.

Finally Some Flowers

 

We had a bit of a warm day a week ago so I went out looking for some spring flowers and found a patch of Winter Aconite in someone's front garden. My Mum always had large swaths of these in her garden and they often emerged from the snow with buds ready to open. These ones just needed a bit of sunshine to get them opened up. It was nice to see some colour at this dreary time of year.

Lovely Lady

 

This lovely lady was found in the Guadalupe area of San Miguel De Allende and imagine how she would look when those vines are blossoming. This area was teeming with great murals.

A Serene Church

 

This simple white church seemed so serene in comparison to the many ornate ones found in San Miguel De Allende. I never did get inside of this one. 

Balance

 

This little dog was spotted balanced on the edge of the second floor wall of a house in San Miguel De Allende. It looked like an older dog and it seemed quite comfortable up there so I think it must be a favourite perch.

Hello There

 

These very tall puppet-like figures called Mojigangas (I think) wander around the town square of San Miguel De Allende on the weekends. Apparently it is an old Spanish custom. There are several different figures and they are so tall that the people inside are actually looking out from around the navels. Great fun to see.
