I went with my coworker Maria to the Arnold Arboretum today. It is so fantastic. The flowering trees are magnificent. There are too many photos to put here, but you can see them in my Picasa album:

Spring Green is the bright color the leaves are when they're brand new. Soon the leaves will turn a more mild green. But for now, they're electric.
Not all of the leaves turn green in the spring. These (below) are red maples, and their leaves are sort of a swampy brown.
If brides planned it right and had their weddings when the flowering trees are losing their petals, they wouldn't need flower girls.
Below is a pink dogwood tree.
There's a small neighborhood park near my apartment. Below, a girl was playing the guitar and singing You Are My Sunshine.
Here's a Japanese maple.
More pink dogwood
The stacker garages are very cool. The first car pulls into the spot and is elevated about five feet. Then the second car slides in beneath it. If you need your car before the car beneath you leaves, the garage attendants get the car keys (left in a lock box) and move the bottom car out, then lower your car for you. It's a brilliant use of vertical space.
Look at the size of this worm!

Stacked cars?! That is insane. Also? Insanely cool.
