Early spring

The magnolias in Lincoln Park have already started to bloom. And the cherry blossoms aren’t far behind, predicted to reach peak bloom anywhere between March 19 and 23, much earlier than usual.

It looks like a firecracker of petals that has exploded. A nice bloom without boom! Luckily there are pearls of dew which prevent everything from igniting!
