We had an exceptionally early spring. Almost three weeks ago there were a couple days with temperatures in the high 70s (F). The flowers noticed. I loaded the Evil Cube with Ektar 100 and stuck it right in the face of the new growth.
Readers Digest used to put a short bon mot at the end of each article, to fill in the space on the page. The only one I remember is “Before the eye can focus...Crocus!”
The magnolia usually blossoms at the end of April and started popping out flowers much earlier. The temperatures returned to be more seasonal, so the flowers persisted and it’s still putting on a pretty good show.
The daffodils weren't far behind,
One of the earliest bloomers in our yard are the Lungworts. These flowers are only about a half inch wide so this is a nearly 1:1 macro photograph.
The wood violets, which add a little purple tint to our lawn, are even smaller.
Chives are always the earliest herbs to return.
More daffodils are on the way.

Getting intimate with one of the earliest bloomers.
The Evil Cube has a .3mm pinhole 60mm from a 6x6cm negative.
