Is it Spring yet?

Is it really? Come with me and let's have a look at the city center.
The dragon of Kazan has been cleared from snow. It melted, yes. But a bit stayed on the dragon's crown.
The view from where the dragon was. Part of the main street and further is the river, still frozen though. The beach is still covered with snow. There are no signs of green yet.
The entrance to Kremlin has much less snow. Asphalt can now be seen. 
Ah asphalt - you have no idea how much I have missed you. :) It is much easier & lighter to walk now. Now I  can walk faster without falling or struggling.
Across Kremlin is the National Museum. No more thick snow on the roof or ice mountain alongsides. Asphalt, it is nice to see you here  too. :)

So what do you think? Has spring really come to us?

I wish you Happy March and warmer days.

    Seeing pavement excites me in March, too! We are in the midst of a snowstorm, however. I hope spring comes aoon for both of us.

    Your snow is disappearing quickly. I am seeing signs of spring also. That is one great dragon.

    The photo of the snow on the dragon pleases me a lot. I can just see a picture book or animation about a blue dragon that was chilled by snow. :-)
    Spring is a coming.

    No green to be seen here either yet. There have been glimpses of asphalt, though. :) Hope it gets warmer for you soon.

    Spring has not arrived here. Today we had a big snow and then ice storm... But it's coming!

    I enjoyed the colorful dragon, and the thoughts of spring......but there is no sign of spring here at the Jersey Shore, it's snowing as I type!! When it arrives this year, we will have an extra appreciation for it!!

    Happy March to you, Mari! We are still getting snow, and it hasn't melted much since January. Yet, I am hopeful!

    The dragon is amazing!

    No spring has not arrived in the Toronto area yet. The weather forecasters are saying it will be a colder than average March here.

    Wow, that dragon is magnificent! Love that curly tongue :-)
    It must feel really nice to be able to walk fast without struggling with ice and snow. I think spring is definitely arriving your area!

    Dearest Mari；　Yes, your phrase saying 'Nice to see you' to Asphalt brought me smile too♪ At least happy to see that snow seems melting. Makes dragon even more lovely with snow on crown, doesn't it♡♡♡ Come Come spring!!!

    Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*

    Thank you for sharing these images - living in the driest State of the driest continent, it is so easy to think of snow as being pretty (because we almost never see it), but we forget the difficulties it brings in day to day living activities. (Thank you too for visiting my blog)

    Dearest Mari,
    Oh, we started yesterday out with very mild 20°C weather at 8:00 AM and up to 23°C but we went north, to Atlanta and there it was windy and only 5°C... Today it was a lot colder here as well. Spring is playing tricks on all of us.
    Lovely photos you show us here; even if they kind of feel cold.

    Sending you hugs for the weekend and warmth,
    Mariette
