Could it be Spring on the way ?

Maybe it’s a bit too soon as it is still only the first week in March, but there is a good chance that the worst of the winter is now over. There is a definite feeling in the air that the spring is on the way. We sent the barganews award-winning photographer O’Connor out and about in the streets of the city to see if he could capture any images portraying the however slight possibility of the seasons change.
He wandered around Parco Kennnedy looking for wild flowers and then went down to the Barga Giardino area and found almost on cue, new flowers being planted in the beds in front of the Post Office by the ever green fingered staff of the Terra Ambient Cooperative. If you look closely at his images you should spot the female blackbird that took full advantage of the new turned over earth.
She showed very little fear of either the workers planting or O’Connor snapping close by, bravery not shown by most birds in this area probably due in no small part to the large hunter population.
