VILNIUS — It’s been over 20˚C at some point during this week in all the Baltic states, which means the warm weather season is officially here.
In our last weekend edition, we put up a photo of flowers, and although that was recent we’ve put together a gallery of more spring images. Yes, going out to smell the flowers is a bit of a cliché, but if you’re winter was anything like ours I’m sure you’re just as joyful about the seasonal change as us, especially our columnist Michael Dozler.
This photo gallery includes photos by Baltic Reports editor Nathan Greenhalgh and a number of other talented photographers living or visiting the Baltic states.
