It’s hard to tell that spring is still two weeks away. The days are getting longer at the fastest rate of the year, and the shorter nights and warming temperatures are activating flower and leaf buds that were put out months ago. The brown and gray of winter is fading away.

I only had to walk a block to find these little gems. I take a lot of photos of flowers, maybe too many, but I can’t help it. This is my favorite time of year.

Hope you’re enjoying the weather — thanks for looking.
