Dear Mother, all flowers remind me of you

This spring has been cool and wet, and the flowering trees have been amazing. Everywhere you go, it seems, is a tree just bursting with color.

In honor of Mother's Day, here are a few photos of flowers. Most of them are in our yard. A couple are neighbors' yards, but all were taken from our yard. I could have gotten a lot more if I'd taken the time to walk around just a bit.

Happy Mother's Day!
