Today is the first day of spring. We are celebrating by posting a collection of photos of spring flowers that Tony has taken. These are the pink blossoms, some of them pink flowering trees. Many of these taken in our garden where we have planted flowers for bees and butterflies, or in the gardens at the UCSC arboretum.
