Ah, the colors of spring time!

         

         
It's amazing how different a change of location can make you perceive something as simple as the emergence of Spring.  I guess it's because there are such different trees in Central Virginia than in Central Texas.  Spring has come so vividly here and so quickly that I missed photographing some beautiful white-blooming trees before they turned green with leaves.  It seems like it happened overnight!  I do miss the blossoms on the peach, pear, crab apple, and crape myrtle trees back home, but the colors here are so lovely that I'm too busy grabbing my camera to miss Texas too much.  I do hope the bluebonnets are already blooming when we visit Texas in a month, though.  I'll be sad if we miss that.  There's just something about the bluebonnets.
