Yesterday was the first day I noticed that the trees in our neighborhood are starting to blossom!
I love this quote that we should count the year by blossoms, not by snow storms or rain or problems.
This is a great nugget of truth in my opinion.
Today's prompt for Kim's Texture Tuesday was "from the top"
so I photographed most of these from above.
