At last a nice and sunny day. Not really warm, but what do you expect in February. We haven’t even had real cold yet, but lots of grey, humid, foggy, boring days. A dull winter it is.
I went to Parc Montsouris, one of the parks in southern Paris. Still pretty wintery.
A nice park I had never really been to, with ducks and / or geese. I never quite know which is which!
Paths going up and down, a pool and statues.
And under a big tree, the first crocuses I’ve seen this year
All my photos of Parc Montsouris.
Crocus! A harbinger of spring! It cannot come soon enough for me!

Your pictures immediately make me think of the song “I love Paris in the spring time…
BTW I like the looks of your new blog page, but seems I have to complete the name, mail, website blanks every time I visit which didn’t use to be necessary.

I thot I’d try your smiley faces, but obviously I don’t know how to do that right either ’cause I don’t think that http info is supposed to print. Oh well, I tried!

Lovely photos. I love that first tree, but don’t know what kind it is.

Sorry, I’m from Canada and I had to shovel off my car this morning before I could go anywhere.

Sorry, Monica! I didn’t mean to make you angry
I should have talked about signs of spring! But isn’t February still supposed to be winter? Even in France

@ joared Thanks for mentioning the form forgetting your name and all that. I have no idea why it isn’t working, but will put one of my gurus on the track. You’re doing fine with the smileys. All you have to do is click the one you want and it puts itself in the comment

What gorgeous photos. Especially the crocus. A sure sign of spring.
Since it’ll be only 23 degrees here tomorrow morning…I’m afraid even Florida is in the grasp of winter!
