We've gone from days around -20C/-4F to +4 to +8C/39 to 46F still below freezing at night. Not exactly spring, but out of sight the trees will soon be getting ready for #Spring activity- like these #catkins from last spring (not an early one, this was May 01). #Aspen catkins are cute and fluffy, but #BalsamPoplar ! Some of the most beautiful #flowers of the year (before they fully open is the best time).

happy summer scents
the nose knows before the eyes
balsam in the woods
