What a different some days do

Back home in my garden and the snow is just in spots now, 
and the resilient hellebores is blooming!
I'm impressed that it has stopped the blooming 3 times due to winter that decided to re-enter the scene.

Dear blippers, I'm super grateful for all the comments, stars and hearts on my aurora borealis shots. Again: THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

Special thoughts to Brussels....
