Spring in My Corner of Chicago

Springtime this year has been beautiful. Today the sky may not have be blue, but the trees and flowers were beautiful and I couldn't resist heading outside to look and photograph them, sun or no sun. My mom, a flower as well, joined me on this jaunt. I hope you enjoy as much as I did, for Spring seems like youth - fleeting.



Are these weeds or flowers, I don't know and I don't care. They are pleasing to my eyes either way, and I don't have to take care of the lawn.






This tree is on some historic tree registry in Chicago. I love feeling the bark and pulling the 100 years of energy from it. I don't think it works!

I end with the prettiest flower of all.
