A warm breeze blows from the southeast. Trees are tipped in lime green leaves. The marsh grass has turned from brown to green overnight. Each Sunday, a designated "Walk for a Cause," takes to the foot path to raise funds for their organization. I know that the landscape architect, Fredrick Law Olmsted, would be pleased to know that his pedestrian walk-way, designed in the 1860's is used for such worthwhile civic celebrations.
Spring and all the glories that renew and refresh us each year has arrived.
Taking to the foot path for a late afternoon stroll, I feel like I'm visiting a botanical garden in full bloom. Residential gardens are showing their flowering spring finery: Daffodils, tulips, Japanese cherry trees, crab apples and forget-me-nots.
Let me capture the image as it may be gone tomorrow.
Let me capture the image as it may be gone tomorrow.By the Twin Bridges, a Great White Egret regally stands, snapping bugs from the air. Taking flight 
at the sensing of a change in motion, she retreats to a more protected inlet across the Boulevard. Feeding 
continues. The arrival of this Great White so early in the season is another sign of our unusually warm, sunny spring. I'll take it...with pleasure.
