I told some people we were going crocus hunting in the Sandilands area yesterday but in actual fact very little hunting was necessary.
There were crocuses a-plenty in the woods and ditches.
We were the guests of our friends Bill and Marie who have a cottage in the area and invited us out for a day of crocus spotting that included great wine, great food and great conversation.
We went for a ride on Bill and Marie’s pair of ATVs.
It was a sunny calm afternoon and Bill led us on a sightseeing trip in the area. It was great to be out in the woods and in the fresh air.
We stopped to check out some beaver dams.
There were lots of crocuses and Dave hopped off the ATV at a couple of spots to take some photos.
The crocus which brings colour to the landscape after a long, dreary winter is often viewed as a symbol of positivity, joy and youthfulness.
We’ve certainly had a long dreary winter in Manitoba and spending a day in the cool but sunny outdoors yesterday and finding crocuses in amongst the still brown and bare woodlands gave me a positive feeling that the green and warmth of spring may be just around the corner.
