O Spring!

While I may be bogged down with work and spending much of my time in doors in front of a computer screen, the earth is shaking loose her dresses and washing her hair. Until I have time to write a poem for you, please enjoy some of these photos of my favorite trees in bloom on campus. Linger on them--the longer I contemplate them, the more I am struck by the elegant line and curve of the dark branches and the enthusiasm with which the petals unfurl. For some reason, simply seeing this calms me.
