Spring came late this year but oh my, was it worth the wait. I have never seen so many trees covered in beautiful blossoms. They are mostly gone now, replaced by lush green leaves. In fact, there are places that Ben and I drive through to get to church that all of a sudden feel much smaller because a curtain of thick leaves conceals the spaces we used to see in the winter. I have really loved experiencing seasons over here and have come to appreciate that it's not just about the beauty that exists within each season, but rather the transitions....how lovely a cool breeze is after a summer of suffocating humidity, and how fragrant tree blossoms are after months of barren branches. Here are some of my pictures.
