Some time to spring here although today it suddenly have started melting.

Hey, that's quite some depth of snow on that car Øivind!

It only got cold enough to do this in the UK on Sunday:

Are those Magnolia flowers John?
The sun's backlighting (and shining through the petals) really creates impact
Thanks Colin.  Yes, these are Magnolia flowers, the purple ones which are a bit later than the normal one.

Love it Akira!
Depth & delicacy in the main floret, "hazy" dreamy bokeh elsewhere...

Thank you, Colin!  The latest SIGMA 45/2.8 DG DN behaves like an old lens in the closest focus range.

That looks extremely cold, Birna.

It's here snowing too, now and then, during very cold showers.  Yesterday evening suddenly a small sun came through the clouds.

Z7  105/1.4E

Love the pleasant atmosphere, John!

Still fresh flowers in the Forsythia after nights of frost.  Remarkable long blooming- period

Some say we are entering a grand solar minimum like the Little Ice Age that ran from 1305 to 1850 and the Maunder Minimum from 1645 to 1715. I hope it's not true.
