Spring, spring, oh what a beautiful thing is spring!

I brought along my camera on my bicycle ride to work this morning to photograph the explosion of spring we are presently experiencing in Luebeck.

Usually, we have what I define as a Slow Spring. Somewhere, towards the end of February or beginning of March, some perennials stick up their heads about the ground. During the following weeks, until mid-May, there is a gradual scintillating dance of spring. It is truly lovely to witness.

This year, for whatever reason, we’ve experienced what I call a Canadian Spring. Monday snow, Friday summer. OK, ok, a slight exaggeration, but we really were caught by surprise.
