I was out looking for daffodils when I spotted several of these bright blooms in someone's front garden. I think they are Ranunculus which I have bought in bouquets but have never seen them growing. This garden had had a few little protective tents scattered about their garden through the winter and I think they were there to protect these plants. I love the colour!

Lovey Daffodils
The Daffodils are flowering and luckily the weather has been a bit cool so the blooms are lasting well. I wish their little heads would look up a bit though. They always seem to be looking down a bit.

Life's A Beech ....
I thought this was a rather clever sign from the city advertising their program to have a tree planted in front of your home for free. There is a big push on here to plant more trees in the city.

Special Balloons
I was at an art show last week and one of the installations featured these iridescent balloons which were changing colour as the lighting on them changed. They were really fascinating. There were no children there but I can imagine that a child would have been spellbound by these. The photo can't capture what the eye sees all the time.

Inclusion
This is another mural painted around the construction on Spadina Rd near the Alliance Francaise. It too was painted by Celia Pang and has all types of wonderful images included in it. There was no way to get a shot without the railings.

Seems Early To Me
This Magnolia is always the first one that I see in bloom and this year it seems to be earlier than ever. Earlier this week it had already started to drop petals when most of the other Magnolias haven't even opened the flowers yet.

Silhouette Of A Squirrel
I always liked those old silhouette portraits of people and this black squirrel against the sky reminded me of them. The squirrel looks like it is hunkered down against the cold wind but it was actually trying to open a really hard nut of some type.
