In colder climates, early Spring is a time when bears and botanic gardens emerge from hibernation, as do I.
Although the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is only a couple of blocks from my home, my winter walks there tend to be head-down, counting steps rather than enjoying the view.
These images, made in mid-March, were a real spirit-lifter; only two weeks before, a visit to the garden in chilly weather felt uncomfortable and a good part of it was spent on indoor exhibits.
But on this day, all sorts of hopeful colors had begun to make themselves felt, and the temperature rose to near 70°, making all the difference!
