Spring Has Sprung

Here are the first flowers I've seen out in the wild this year, with the exception of those grown by my sister-in-law, who seems to have the ability to grow cactus in a swamp and roses in the desert. Photo taken on March 10th in Forest Park.



Willows and redbuds are starting to leaf out here at Clifton Park in Saint Louis. It is located on the hills of the south bank of the River des Peres and is south of the Dogtown neighborhood.



Here are some berries, with an appropriate Lenten shade of violet.
