Picture of the Day: Spring is Here

Pastel pink cherry blossoms are out

Spring allergies didn't really hit me until today. After days of rain in Vancouver, which is now called "an atmospheric river", we were surprised to see the sun and blue skies!

When that happens you have to go out for a walk, and today was particularly significant as it's the first day of Spring.

Magnolias have begun to bloom

I saw magnolias blooming as well as cherry blossoms.

But after my walk I started having sneezing fits and my eyes watered.

Ten hours later my eyes are still itchy, my nose can't stop dripping.

When I was in Hong Kong I never had this problem!

Nevertheless, still thrilled to see that winter is behind us, even though we had no recorded snow this year. The last time that happened was 43 years ago!
