Could this be Spring?

Here is a picture from my dog walk around the farm a week ago. In the last few days the snow has all but disappeared. The ice beneath is following fast. It seems incredible that it should already be spring. It's only the end of February! The sun is shining, birds are singing their spring songs, but on examining the trees and bushes and searching the ground where it is green, I have been unable to detect swelling buds or flowers.
