Signs of Spring - Saturday Snapshots

We've had a mild winter here in the Pacific Northwest, and signs of spring have already appeared. Here's what I discovered in a walk around my home over the past few days.
Blossom on a Star Magnolia tree after a rainy day

We cut back our camellias after they were damaged by
an ice storm a couple of years ago, so we were
delighted that one of them bloomed beautifully this year.

I caught a slug munching on my daffodils!
Luckily, this bloom was spared.

Purple crocus - One of the first flowers to emerge.
For those of you who are still waiting for spring, it will come ... eventually!
