Spring Harbingers
Ice Breakers It was freezing cold in NYC today. Although the snow from Storm Nemo ( Home and Away Pairings , NYers Finding Nemo in Central Park ) had mostly faded away. It certainly did not feel like spring might be around the corner -- at least to me. That is until I saw the buds on the cherry trees just to the West of the Reservoir: Kwanzan Cherry Tree Buds .......and the magnolia buds near Bethesda Fountain: Magnolia Buds in February ...and the Ginkgo buds on the trees overlooking Cherry Hill Fountain: Gingko in February ....and the snow drops sprouting near Strawberry Fields: Snow Drops There were also daffodils starting to poke their way up into the chilly February air. Even with all these signs of spring, I have this feeling that we've got a couple of months to go before it's fully sprung. ....I am sure that it will come none to soon for the ducks who make the lake their home: Cold Duck
