Spring and March presented themselves in earnest last week with warm winds and sunshine.  And all of nature knows this is the time for action. Vegetative growth from bulbs that wait patiently throughout the winter miraculously pushed through the hard, dry soil, and the blooms have arrived.  Flowering shrubs and fruit trees are gradually joining the party, each in its own time, but enough to emit that incredible smell only fruit trees produce.  Photographed either in color or black and white, the blossoms are quite special.
