The earliest signs of spring can be very subtle. Before leafing out, some stems take on brighter colors of renewed life.
Black raspberry vines turning powdery blue and purple with the coming of spring The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Snails, fish, insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Follow me below the orange vines for more examples of spring on the NE corner of the Olympic Peninsula of WA.
