suburban spring

after the warm temperatures and the sun and then last night's soaking rain, the buds are starting to do some serious popping. inspired by yesterday's post I took lots of pictures this early evening except they came out awful. the light was horrible, not one bit of magic hour illumination even for a second. so here is something from last spring. I remember riding my bike through the neighborhood one late afternoon after it had just rained. the clouds were moving away from us and the sun was calling attention to all the greens.
