March 5th, 2008: random Texel pictures

The first signs of spring on Texel - some crocuses and other little bulbs have started flowering. Last week it was relatively warm - however, this week has been quite cold and we've been having quite a few hail storms. I got caught in one yesterday on my bike ride home and it was terrible (quite painful). Interestingly, there is now a 2nd flamingo on Texel (near Den Hoorn) but it is on the opposite side of the island from the other flamingo.

I took a walk on the beach the other day. It was really windy and there was quite a bit of sand flying around...
And some pictures of the hairy cows I passed on my way to check out the latest flamingo on Texel. Unfortunately, I still do not have any good flamingo pictures...

My bulbs are coming up, only on the warm south side of the house. I need to get seedlings started!
