52 HEARTS - Week 10 - The colors of the season

Well, although I thought I might never say this again.....IT'S SPRING!!!!!!!
It's been a long winter folks, and even though we weren't snowed in as often as winters in the past, the storms that did visit were blustery, icey and for the first time, knocked out our power for four days.  So I think you can imagine how happy I am that we are actually having somewhat of a Spring and 70 degree weather has been visiting us this past week.

My assignment this week is to seek out the colors of the Spring (present season).  GREEN.  Our official Spring sign around here is GREEN.  As in grass, trees, hay, etc.  I didn't want to photograph grass, so I went in search of other subjects.

I found my color inspiration along the Susquehanna River as things were getting readied for the Cherry Blossom Festival. 

There are a few dozen trees which line the banks of both the West Pittston and Pittston side of the river.  They stand like soldiers and are so pink you go about the rest of your day thinking everything else you see is DULL.  The Festival started today and ends tomorrow and proves to be a good time for all.

When you seriously think that these trees are made up of one perfect blossom after another, you understand the palette and presence mother nature has in this world.

Happy Spring!  I hope you are enjoying whatever colors are making your world bright and friendly!
