Spring ? Άνοιξη;

All the signs are here. The flowers are blooming everywhere, you can hear the insects buzzing around, the birds are nesting, only the weather is not cooperating. It is less than a week from Easter Sunday and the temperatures are like those we get in February here. But we have to carry on. And hope we shall have better weather till the end of the week. Happy Easter to you all.
These photographs were taken only 3 days ago.
Αυτός ο καιρός θα μας τρελλάνει. Σε λιγότερο απο μια βδομάδα έχομε Πάσχα και οι θερμοκρασίες είναι εκείες που συνήθως έχομε τον Φλεβάρη. Βλέπεις παντού τα λουλούδια νάχουνε ανθίσει, ακούς τα ζουζούνια να βουίζουν, βλέπεις τα πουλιά να φωλιάζουν, και για να βγείς έξω χρειάζεσαι παλτό.
Ας ελπίσωμε πως ο καιρός θάναι καλύτερος την άλλη Κυριακή. Να μη έχει ο κόσμος να αντιμετωπίσει και τον καιρό μαζύ με τα άλλα που αντιμετωπίζει. Καλό Πάσχα νάχομε όλοι.
Οι φωτογραφίες είναι όλες τριών - τεσσάρων ημερών.
 Can you see the wings of this bubblebee are damaged..?
Μπορείτε να δείτε τις φτερούγες αυτού του μπούμπουρα χαλασμένες..;

Just stunning.
It must be a slow spring for everyone. We just had a huge dump of snow on the weekend.
I am a tad jealous of your blooms and am pretending they are mine;)
Love your new header!

Lovely series of spring photos! We received about 4 inches of snow night before last, and 3 more inches last night - and it's still lightly snowing, so your photos are a welcome sight today!

I love the gorgeous flowers and colors and those very happy bees!! What delightful captures, Costas! We have some blue skies today, but the temperatures are still way below average! Hope we both get some warmer days soon! Have a wonderful evening and a beautiful tomorrow!
