Here is a series of shots that do give a promise of the approaching spring.
Osman käämit vapauttavat siemenensä ... Bullrushes are dispursing their seeds
Nämä pajunkissat pitäisi kyllä vielä pysyä kuoressaan ... These catkins should in fairness still stay in their sheltering cover
Lepän hedekukinnot alkavat punertaa ... The male inflorescences of the Alder tree are starting to turn red
Also the bark of some shrubs are starting to turn into different colours as in the pictures below. Trees (especially) Birches get more colour in their upper thin branches too in spring. A certain dark purple tone is common for the top branch network of Birch trees and it has already started to happen but isn't strong enough yet to capture with a camera.
Oranssiin vivahtavaa ... Orange tones
Viininpunaista ... Wine red
Punaoksat lähikuvassa ... The red branches in close up
En ikävä kyllä tiedä kumpienkaan pensaiden nimiä mutta saattavat kuulua pajuperheeseen ... Unfortunately I don't know the names of either of these shrubs but they might belong to the Willow family

Luonnossa on värejä. Harmaudessa en erottuvat selvemmin kuin kevään ja kesän värikirjossa.
