Proof of Spring, Outside

Here is photographic proof that spring is occurring at least somewhere.  That somewhere is Maryland, to be exact.

- The sign reads:  CONTAINS NUTS -
We begin with the sign my son felt compelled to put on
 the back of our car, as we were packing to leave
 Western PA to head to Maryland.
That white stuff is called SNOW. 

Upon our arrival, first we noticed these.
Every day that we were there, more of these opened up.

About to burst forth.

Last time I was there, these looked miserable with cold.

I do like bare branches against the sky.  But I am
willing to give that up for some warmer days.

One of the individuals living in the body of water my mom
 calls "Lake Maybe" which is really a drainage pond.

The spouse of the above bird?

Not a forsythia.  A truffula tree, maybe?

Sun! Flowing water! Green grass!  Teens outside!

Tiny white flowers.  Beauty itself.

These buds are pointing to the sky, asking for just a bit more warmth.
