spring east village 2007

i thought i'd let all you people with jobs know what's going on with nature around here. yesterday the lovely warm weather caught many by surprise. today was rainy and perfect for taking pictures.



not a lot is fully blooming yet, except for, of course, the crocus. some daffodils are blooming, but all of my pictures of them were too boring to post. if only every picture could include a charmingly misspelled sign.








i saw some funny yellow flowers that i've never noticed before and couldn't identify. their trees looked like cherry trees. are they japanese maples? i'll have to keep an eye on them and see what they become.
