Maple sap collecting in bottle.
 
The sunny days have set the sap in maples running, and they have also opened the cones of spruces, Douglas firs, and larches.
 
Seeds spilled from Norway or common spruce (Picea abies).

If the cones of the common pine open in April, then part of the mountain pine cones are already fully open now and the seeds have even dropped out.

 
Seeds from white spruce (Picea glauca).
 
On the snow now there may be the fruits of ashes, alders and lindens, and winged seeds of spruces, Douglas firs and larches.
