Spring!

KangaZu's theme for MonoMonday this week (to be expressed in just one word) is "what makes you happy". Well I'm lucky to report that lots of things make me happy, especially family things. But today has been the first day of spring (according to some sources anyway) and spring certainly makes me happy especially when it's sunny like today. So here's some flower buds on our Mahonia Japonica shrub, showing that spring has well and truly arrived.
