The flowers are saying, 'it's spring!'

After an unusually long and cold winter in most of North America, spring has finally arrived, even in Canada!

 

A photo gallery to share the coming of the flowers!  A celebration of the season as seen in my backyard in Calgary this past weekend.

Well, our Brooklyn summer lasts longer, but we've had a surprisingly short spring after a tough winter—and to my surprise, our New Dawn roses—the pink ones in the pictures— are in full flourish a few weeks earlier than usual. In some climates, they're supposed to have a second bloom in October, but after years, we can only hope. That's all one New Dawn, over 25 years old...even when cut back to a stump it quickly and aggressively reclaims its territory.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
