For some people first day of spring is flowers and sunshine. In Maine are lucky to get the sunshine and most years there is still snow on the ground. We just have to believe that spring will come.
@sailingmusic you will have to visit. Portland is wonderful city, For one thing it is a foodie city. For another there are 6 lighthouses in the area plus cruise ships in the summer and islands to visit. A photographers dream.
It is very much like Montana - we are so happy if we have sunshine this time of year. Snow is still everywhere! Your photo does show a lovely day however:)
