Spring!




Spring is slowly coming to northern China. After teasing us with a few clement days last week, this week reverted back to wintery coldness. But joyously, it has been a warm, clear skyed weekend, so yesterday I went to a downtown park where I finally found the first leaf buds of the year. And then entertained a lot of Chinese people with the puzzling question of 'why is the only foreigner at the park standing in a hedge taking close up photos of a twigs?'

I can't wait for the transformation from bleak and bare to leafy. At this point I should probably warn you that I'm a little bit addicted to snapping trees!

  1. We're looking forward to spring here, too. A new season is always a mood lifter.
    Will look forward to more tree snaps from the other side of the world. I'm sure the species of trees are quite different from what we have here.
