Spring is advancing, first leaves are opening up from buds. But there are still a lot of signs of the previous year, fallen leaves and even clumps of snow. Slowly but surely nature moves towards spring, even though there are occasional cold nights and cold days. For a photographer, this is a time of change, of things shifting daily.
