After visiting Krakow, Poland last week I understand where spring is. Here its nonexistent for the time being. I decided to embrace winter for now, so today the skies had to come out of summer storage ::)

The first picture is from a park in Krakow and the other two is from todays climb. The ride down was as always the highlight :)

I saw Magnolias all over the place in Poland. Every garden had their own variety. I wish I could get one to grow here, but that might be far fetched. I love the way a Helios render a scene Arend. I treated my self to a couple of 58 f2 in a small shop in Krakow. They set me back 20 silver dollars 8)

We like to share and let some of the heavy snow showers pass, to make our neighbors happy :)

A sure sign of spring, the blood spewer (Timarcha tenebricosa) is back, on its favorite dish

Thomas, the "Forgetmenot" are a couple of months away here. The same goes for the Rapeseed. Hopefully things will turn to the better here as well. In the meantime we are enjoying the great outdoors.

Oh, wow, what a view. Thank you.
I need to push 'winter vacation in the great north' up the list. Or more presisely 'vacation in winter time with a good chance of snow'.
