There may still be snow on the ground but spring will arrive next month. So although it is winter, warmer weather is on the way. Here are some pictures that I took of flowers, fruits and vegetables from Pike Place Market in Seattle when I visited there recently. It was wonderful to see these bright colors!
All kinds of fresh produce on display:

I’m really looking forward to spring!

Beautiful photos. I feel so fortunate to have a local and large family-run farm market here that has all the beauty of spring/summer all year round inside, plus the warmth of very friendly employees. I love going there every week, it’s like a boost to the spirit! :)

I loved your writings about Seattle.
My now wife and I flew there from Brisbane, Australia at Xmas time in 2011 with the aim of getting married outdoors on 1/1/12 (her brother and his wife live there – he moved there a few years ago to work and never came back home to Australia).
We did that up at Snoqualmie Pass, with a LOT of snow everywhere. We called into Pike Place on the way to the Pass to get some of those tulips you showed. I love Pike Place – was amazed that one could get such an array of colourful flowers and tasty fruit/veges at that time of the year. Coming for a visit again next year. Pike Place is definitely on the list of must re-visit. :)
All the best from Brisbane, Australia.
