Harbingers of Spring

Spring came early to Central Illinois - the trees bloomed in early April and most have fully leafed out. It was so short lived that I didn't get to enjoy it.

However, I made a last minute trip out east to the Boston area and got to enjoy an early spring all over again. I normally visit the area in summer, so the landscape was very different from what I am used to.







My runs took me to a local pond and even in the off season, it was calm and inviting.


Even with a bit of rain, there was no wind (in Illinois, rain is almost always accompanied by straight line winds).
