Spring Photos

So you saw I have some Winter photos, and last year I actually took summer photos without calling them that....and along came fall photos without really calling them that, so I have decided to embrace this project of capturing all the seasons. Right now I would say we are still in early spring. Some trees have leaves, some have flowers, and some still are bare. I think the weeping willow trees are the most spectacular right now. I wish I would stumble across a nice specimen of a willow tree in a natural, or natural looking setting. However the ones I have seen thus far have been severely pruned, no doubt a side effect of our massive wind storm last year. I have been taking lunchtime jaunts to Cox Arboretum to exercise my camera. It's amazing how much changes in just a week. Here's some photos of what early spring looks like at Cox.

Here's what I think are impatiens, hanging in a basket.
Bulbs in bloom, potted by the front entrance to the main building.
My favorite of them all, something about this 3:1 aspect ratio must really appeal to me.
The bridge from the other side.
A lonely bench, daffodils ready to bloom at its base.
Daffodils in bloom
A hallway of trees, leading to the arbor.
And finally what I call the early risers and those that sleep in.
