The coldest days often are flooded with light; the landscape barely defrosting in full beam of the sun. Water reflecting the glare from the sky and rays piercing their way through dense undergrowth. Spring does seem to be appearing in the early stages which is a worry. Much as I love spring and summer, you can't rush nature and the turbulent manner in which winter has played out is just.... wrong. Blossom coming out now can't be good, daffodils already. The seasons are there for a reason; you can't have a successful spring without a winter.
