The photo challenge for this week is about life’s waking after a long winter. Well, someone must have hit the SNOOZE button for Wisconsin because it’s still FREEZING up here!
I was able to see some blooms indoors at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago at the end of last month. Here’s another fern to echo Jen’s post:
I am really looking forward to the proposition of warmer days and greener landscapes. Any time. Soon. The sooner the better, really. Like…now would be good. Yeah. Until then, Northerners, this bud’s for you.

Great shots! 🙂
Thanks very much! I appreciate your visit.
Oh they are lovely. I’m in the south and my flowers are just starting to awaken.

Oh, do enjoy them!
Fine photos! We are looking forward to spring but are not holding our collective breath…..
Best not to get hopes up. I do like to imagine the trees and plants enjoying dormancy like the last moments of a good night’s sleep. There will be a time for bursting green, just not….quite….yet.
