In a couple of weeks, I will embark on my 47th trip around the sun. That puts me at 188 seasons passed should I make it all the way around. You’d think the changing of the seasons would be blasé by now, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth.
Spring’s tiny buds have been gradually swelling and will burst open any day now, once again transforming themselves into luscious foliage and blooms. I never tire of this spectacular show. Maybe this post should be titled “Spring Spectacular.”
The images below are just a glimpse of spring’s emergence at Sutherland. To commemorate it, I thought it would be fun to juxtapose the spring buds (photographed only one day ago) with their mature leaves. Enjoy the show.
