I stepped outside one April morning to find that some of the fallen buds from my neighbour's tree to the left of me had landed on the hood of the car belonging to the neighbour to my right. It caught my eye. I grabbed my camera and voila.. instant blog post!

"Sunshine steeps your boughs

and tints the buds

and swells the leaves within." ~ William C. Bryant

"Thought is the blossom;

language the bud;

action the fruit behind it." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When April winds grew soft,

the maple burst into a flush of scarlet flowers." ~ William Cullen Bryant
