The time when it’s still winter but spring is ready and waiting

It has been a long winter with lots of snow in the Lake Bled area of Slovenia, but the warm early-March sun was out most of the time in the last few days and snow melted quickly in the valleys. Currently only the mountains still have a covering of snow on the top.
