Barefoot weather is here

It seems like I had to wait forever, but the nearby flowers have finally exploded into bloom.

Violets and the greenery of the wild strawberry plants that run rampant in the backyard.

These two shots are different trees, one from the front yard, one from the back. I don't know what they are and honestly have just been too lazy to research it. The blossoms, while pretty to look at, don't smell too sweet, though.

I like contrasts--the color of the new blooms and the dead leaves of last year.

I can't wait to see what else my camera can capture now that the weather turned nice. These were the humble offerings of my immediate vicinity; no doubt the parks I love have more things to make this hippie throwback happy.
