The weather is so warm I have been able to trade my coat for a jean jacket on several of my walks. Around me, the trees and bushes are taking full advantage of this unusually warm April. An explosion of life bursts forth.

The sun shows the first buds of life on the trees beside the bridge.

Even against the brilliant blue you can see the beginning of the flurry of leaves.

The grass has been eager to turn green. These trees will soon follow suit.

A slight sprinkle of leaves. Watch for the change in just a few days!
