the sprouts of spring

My precious little camera is back from service, thanks for that, I've missed her! (And yes, I'll refer to her as a 'she', she's even got a name).

Especially as today we had perfect weather:

But don't get misleaded by this picture. Yes, the sun was shining, but even though you're hardly seeing any clouds in this picture it was overcast for longer periods, and there even was a furious, but very short shower of snow. Besides, icy winds blowed over the plains near Schwechat. Temperatures where around about zero degree Celsius but felt like fifteen to twenty below zero thanks to the wind.

Nevertheless, the first green sprouts are showing. Winter it still is despite the cold, but spring is on its way.
