Spring seems a little early this year, there visibly less snow on the ground than usual for the time of year. It seems to have had an impact on the flowers as well, there’s more variety and more in quantity. Although, the crocuses have largely gone at these heights now. The snow is pretty clear on south slopes but the north slopes are still difficult in places.
