It is early for this far north to get to spring minded, I have seen 3 robins, only one other time that I can remember did I see first Robins on the 7th and 8th of March.
We have some rushing rivers, a few patches of bare ground, soft earth in places, and now and then you can drive with the heater off in the car.
I thought this tree bark covered with lichen, it is a pretty pattern for a background in a painting I thought, even Richard said looks like your backgrounds,
and like that a painting appeared. This must be a spring maid, she drifts through the woodlands to stir the Mayflowers, spring beauties, and violets.

Emelie, she's so pretty mixed in looking through the lichen! pretty green colors and yes she looks like Spring. Did you try the wax paper trick?
We had Robins 2 weeks ago....that is very rare and I worry for them because it has been down near zero at night except for the last couple nights and even 20 is cold for a Robin.
I usually throw out raisins for them while the ground is still cold but I forgot to buy a box. Saw a guy tapping the Maples just around the corner today. Last year DH tapped our 2 trees and made a pretty good batch of syrup. A lot of our snow is gone but most of the yard is still buried. You know we'll get a dandy storm or 2 yet!! I love that the deck is all cleared off now!
I've been so busy, I now have to catch up on blogs! This is such a good idea. Your gal just blends in ideally. I have tons of pictures like this from over the years. I'll hafta see what I can do with them. Pretty girl, too.
