Emerging Spring Things

Tax Day has come and gone; birds and twittering and doing their thing; buds are swelling--and the Forsythia is in full bloom. I guess it's time to start some sort of Spring Gallery. So it's off to the Celery Farm and Campgaw (among other places) to follow the emergence of all the spring things.

Your pictures are amazing! I'm allergic to a lot of plants, so I never get to see them this close.
