The daffodils have burst into flower, the tortoises have woken up and are running about and the blackbird sings tirelessly from his high perch on his favourite tree. Spring is most definitely in the air.

For many of us that doesn’t just mean getting the lawn mower out, or enjoying the first barbecue. It also means removing those snow friendly winter tyres and fitting the summer tyres once more.

I’ve never actually recorded the event photographically, and I didn’t have a “proper” camera with me. But let’s face it, a good mobile phone can work wonders.

In a good couple of months time it will be Easter. If it’s not snowing, the first warm days of Spring should be making their presence felt. But until then lets enjoy the dark, dismal days. Gone are the Christmas festivities, the sparkling lights and all those smiling faces in the shops. The days have become decidedly bleak. What better way to enjoy a bleak day than a nice Black & White, intentionally average quality picture 🙂

On Thursday evening the Christmas lights were switched on in Zurich. Apparently ‘thousands’ gathered to witness the spectacle, visit the various Christmas markets and of course sample the first mugs of mulled wine. I’ll probably wait a while before plunging into the spirit of Christmas, but I was delighted to take advantage of Friday evening’s wet weather on the way home. Lights reflecting in wet roads never cease to fascinate me!

The Aperitif Tram or perhaps the Fondue Tram?

Snow would certainly be more seasonal, but we’re happy with rain.

Hurrying past with the shopping.

The wet weather even seems to make that clumsy roof look light and festive…. see also The Railway Station  and Taj Mahal

 

Enjoying a beer or two this evening I made my way home a little later than usual. There is a very special atmosphere later in the evening.
