Signs of Spring

Another JR portrait? It is next to an ad hence my doubt.

The weird, not quite spring weather has continued to plague us. The trees have finally begun to flower and send out leaves but they are doing it fitfully. I am pretty sure we have not had a day without some kind of strong wind in two months. Still it is beginning to feel like spring time.

Every thing is still delicate and fresh. The one good thing about the wind is it blows the bad smells and smog away.

I love these trees, growing in containers on shadowy streets, sending out dainty blossoms. The trucks rumble by drowning out the songbirds.

Yes, there are songbirds in New York city, it is the best sound.
