Think spring

Spring comes to this area intermittently, with episodes of winter alternating with episodes of spring.  I do a lot of nature photography in spring to help keep the mood of spring singing within me.

Plane tree and Japanese cherry tree 

These violets are tiny (less than 1 inch long) and are scattered about in lawns.

It's happening!  Green is returning.

My Japanese cherry  tree is in bloom.

The Red Menace (red maple) has lots of pollen which is strongly allergenic.  I've got allergies and asthma, and pollen is the only part of spring that I don't like.
