Spring has popped up in Geneva

Its already spring in Geneva, 3 hours drive south west from my garden. Some people may say "false spring" as there can still be one or 2 more hard frost or even snow....but the snowdrops are always ahead of forsythia or other flowers that appear in late winter. Crocus are also blooming Wild daisies are all over the grassy areas....and most interestingly, as usual my GPS took me to this road as I go around searching for parking. This is not a rose garden but a small lane
As I stepped out of the car, I spotted this bush that's towering to at least 3 meters tall. Looks like a a very mature hybrid tea bush with lots of intact blooms. Some looked a bit worn out after the winter battering but there are a few good looking buds unscathed by the winter frost.
I can't get a better picture than this as it is a very very tall bush but you can see bits of the leaves shows some frost burnt. A closer look at the buds that looked like its about to open up as the temperature gets milder and warmer.

First sign of spring!

The only sign of spring in my garden at the moment are from these pigeon chicks.

They are growing real feathers and probably counting days to fly away. I am happy they survived the coldest winter temperatures ever recorded in years.

Its amazing to see how much fertilizer they are making in their nest!! 2 inches of thick yuck covering a wide area of several square meters. I'm getting a little impatient waiting for them to grow up and leave the nest. This corner of the garden shed badly need spring cleaning and sprucing up. A lick of paint would be great too. Another task gone into the to do list!
