We've sprung ahead, and though I can't stand losing sleep on a Sunday, I think an extra hour of light therapy is worth it. Our winter here has been fairly mild of late, and even though I know there are months of rain ahead of us, my garden is in bloom and giving me a much needed color boost.

My lovely husband bought me a new lens for Valentines and here is one of my first photos with it of our evergreen clematis, just starting to bloom. Just like my hopes for Spring and some warmth along with our light.
