Signs of Spring

We've spent the winter months hiking in nearby parks, enjoying sweeping vistas, and exploring beautiful landscapes. We've basked in the beautiful golden winter light that warms the landscape (though not necessarily the temperature), admired the bare tree branches against dramatic skies, and enjoyed inclement weather followed by warm days. Now it's spring!

Willows (Salix spp.) leafing out along the path by a Bishop Ranch lake

Time for nature to wake up and put on a show! This stand of willow trees leafed out in beautiful spring green in a matter of days. The flowering trees have been blooming in kind since late February and early March. Daffodils, hyacinths, freesia, and blue bells are rotating through their bloom cycles. Keep watch - there is more to come!
