Sprang

This morning, I was thrilled to see that Spring weather had finally arrived in Baltimore. Though it turned out to be a bit on the gale force windy side, that didn't stop your intrepid Baltimorians from getting out and documenting the highly anticipated arrival of the season. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them, though I recommend doing this judiciously. Some details are best avoided.

This beauty happens to be in front of a house that we covet, so if you're looking for a last minute gift for Benford's birthday, I can put you in touch with a few realtors.

There are also cherry trees:

And gorgeous Japanese Magnolias:

Spring in Baltimore. It's lovely, hon.


*If you've never smelled a Bradford Pear in bloom, well, let's just say that most of you would probably be able to place the scent.
