These are the flowers that are beginning to appear on my flowering Yoshino Cherry tree.  I posted a shot awhile back of the tree before it started blooming here.  Amazing what happens in just a couple of weeks.  Won't be long before it is in full bloom.

Mmmmm, oranges are so good this time of year.  One of my favorite snacks :)

This is the side of an old truck at my favorite fruit and vegetable stand - Reggie's Veggies.  The stand has been on this corner for as long as I can remember.  So has this truck!  Both front tires are flat and the front is pretty beat up.  Took this from my car driving by, and obviously misjudged and didn't get the whole truck in the shot :) You're not missing anything.  I don't think they could move it even if they wanted to.  They do spruce up the paint job each year :)

Well, at least now I know where all the birdseed is going.  I was beginning to think I had some pterodactyl's in the yard or something.  Was having to refill the feeder twice a day.  Come on squirrels, you have your own feeder!  Reminded me a bit of one of my favorite shots from a few years ago.  How could I not remember that squirrels will eat anything!

On a side note, we woke up to about an inch of snow/ice this morning.  Too much.  Forecast says 75 for this weekend.  Talk about a temperature range.  Ahhhh, spring in Boise!

This is in one of our many parks throughout the city.  Such a peaceful setting.  Was hoping for a bit more light to really enhance the reflections in the water.  Naturally, when I was there, the sun was behind the clouds.  You get the idea, though :)

An old birdhouse at my parents'.  Don't know why, but I really love this birdhouse.  Maybe it's the fake little wanna-be Cardinal sitting out front :)

Little buds popping up in my garden finally.  This is a *very* small flower.  Almost stepped on it while pulling a few weeds :)  I do love spring ... all that is dormant in the winter just wakes up one day.  Pretty amazing to me how something this small can even survive the brutal winter temperatures and bloom in the spring.

I can't locate the correct name for this tree, but I believe it's a type of ornamental Japanese Flowering Cherry tree.  Lots of people have them around here, and I love when they bloom in the Spring.  I think it's interesting how the trunk of the tree is so large for what is a rather small tree.  Small in stature, maybe, but large in the pretty department :)  If anyone knows the exact name, I'm all ears!
