The Start of Spring

You've probably all seen lots of flower bud pictures already, but please indulge me as I post my own. I didn't discover the emerging flowers until today after I made a dent in storm damage clean -up from last month's brutal snow storm, followed up by the devastating Nor'easter last week. What a mess! But what a happy day to discover the flowers. Just to be different, I'll post black and white pictures I took in the rain tonight.
