On the banks of the Starkweather Creek

It finally feels like Spring in Madison.

Oh Spring, Spring! Wherefore art thou Spring?

This is not the kind of evening commute I expect in southern Wisconsin on April 18.

Today I noticed the bleeding heart plant in front of my house has emerged and is about 8 inches tall. I noticed this WHILE I WAS SHOVELING SNOW.

Ah, spring in Wisconsin.

On a cold and dreary spring day, I went out looking for some color. I did find some… indoors (in the conservatory at Olbrich Botanical Gardens).

Saw some snowdrops today, the first flowers I’ve seen outside this year.

Caught this northern cardinal proudly singing away and claiming his territory. Another welcome sign of spring.

Another sign that spring is almost here.

Things are really starting to green up nicely. Summer is just around the bend.

Another welcome sign of spring.

Scilla (or Siberian squill). One of my favorite spring flowers, I love the way its small blossoms can cover an entire area with blue.
