Spring?

Spring is my favorite season. The color of spring, green, is my favorite and I prefer the bright green of new spring - what my mom and sister refer to as flourescent green! My favorite smell is rain and I religious about listening for my first robin. But every March the first sign I watch for is....

buds on the trees! Most folks would say this photo is pretty dreary but to me it's beautiful! Old Man Winter may still have a few things to say before moving on this year but the nymphs of spring are peaking from behind his back!
