The Birds and the Bees and the Flowers and the Trees

Love is in the air. The birds are singing, and I know many downy chicks are coming my way soon.

This robin sings from the Harvard Medical School Quad every morning as I walk in to work.

Below, an Oak tree starts again.

I used to see large groups of geese. Now I see pairs almost exclusively.

See the wispy ends at the top of this tree? That's new growth.

Maybe it's hard to see from these photos, but the tulips opened up so much in only one day.

The tree below is already losing its flowers, and making room for new leaves.

Another goose pair. I can't wait for the goslings!

Look at all of this green!

Commonwealth Avenue

Along the Boston Marathon. I saw Greg at mile 6.2 and mile 24.5, then I went to meet him at the finish line. He was wiped out, but what a great day!

Everyone plants daffodils.

Can you imagine being the window washers for the Hancock Tower? At 60 stories, it's the tallest building in Boston. (I don't know what that smudge is...)

I've been seeing lots of romance between the geese. And with several pairs, one of them was sitting. I can't imagine they sit on eggs so far out in the open. Hmm.

This is in the Victory Gardens near my apartment. You can rent a lot and keep a garden if you don't have your own yard. As the weather gets nicer, I will wander through there more.
