Over the past few afternoons and evenings it has felt like Spring has almost arrived. The Spring flowers are beginning to appear, the bats and Swallows are out in the evenings and locals and tourists alike are enjoying the sunset strolls.
A few of you will have spotted I didn’t mention mornings in my opening sentence. That’s because they have been rather grey and damp, but who cares if by the afternoon it looks and feels like Spring!
If you have not already discovered Portugal in mid winter then perhaps now is the time to try! In the meanwhile I hope you have enjoyed a few of my photographs from the past three days collated especially for Cate’s Six Word Saturday.
My roses are out , blooming fully as if it were already April 😉
And do you know our saying “Março Marçagão manhã de Inverno tarde de Verão” ? March March…. winter in the morning and summer in the afternoon – very liberal translation ??
It feels like March even “up here” in Lisbon , already
Lovely pictures , as always 🙂
No I hadn’t heard of that saying. It’s perfect for the days we’ve been having here 😊
Planning a weekend in Lisbon in March so hoping it definitely feels like spring then.
🙂
Beautiful photos. It looks like spring IS on the way.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Really hope it is!
I could be happy with afternoons like these. And your godwits are gorgeous!
Got them just at the right moment, my husband who was taking photographs at same time missed them by moments!!
Beautiful photo’s and gorgeous scenery.
Thank you 😊we very lucky, it really is a lovely area
Lots of cold and snow here in Ottawa. Thank you for the wonderful pictures which make us count the days until our return.
Brrrrrr! Hopefully pretty though in the snow and ice?
J.E.A.L.O.U.S! Still frigid & snowy here, and will be for some time to come.
Not nice 😕 hope you’ve at least got blue skies to go with the cold.
Lovely thought, and your evening photos are so inviting. 🙂 Soon, Becky! Soon!
Thank you Jo, counting the days for you!
Lovely pix, and a great thought. Here it’s been torrents followed by fog the last couple of days. Roll on spring.
Thank you 😊
Hope your spring isn’t too far away
