Signs of spring


We still have lots of snow and the signs of spring are few. I participate in this week's photo challenges with these indoor photos:






















Sharing with:



A month in photos: March

Thank you to all the hosts!







I leave you with a little treat. From Milan with love.
Just look at the lovely gorgeous magnolia! Thank you so much, D.!

  1. Vihreä on kaunis ja kaivattu väri! Maaliskuun kollaasisi on sympaattinen ja tuo magnolia ei voi olla todellinen - niin upea se on! Mukavaa toista pääsiäispäivää ja maaliskuun loppua. Lumi hupenee silmissä, jo on aikakin :)

  3. That verdant green of Springs first leaves is magical!
    I love the light in these photos too Sara and who would have thought a Magnolia could steal the show from the Milan Cathedral!
    There is such beauty everywhere, we need to know where to look!

  11. Glad you have lovely greens inside, it takes so long before real spring starts high in the north. Your last picture is great, the Milan´ cathedral together with the abundance of Magnolia flowers, that is real spring!
    Have a nice new week Sara!

  16. Pretty bad when we have to simulate spring indoors. :-) I should do the same because it's so dreary and raining today but at least I have some mums I bought for the Easter table. Purple and lavender ones to be exact - not surprising eh?
    The magnolia blossoms are a gift this week - to you and passed on to us. Thank you, I loved seeing them Sara.

  17. Oh that is too bad that the snow is lingering....we are definitely in spring although not too warm, but definitely early. Your beautiful greens certainly say spring even if it is just indoors now.
