Color in the Hood

I love the colors coming up all over the neighborhood. Not just in my yard, but in those of my neighbors. The redbuds all leapt into bloom at the same time, a couple of days ago.

A couple more from our own yard.

Little "grape" hyacinths. Very blue, not numerous.

And the real sign that Spring has sprung and will proceed inexorably on to summer:

It's far easier on my back and the environment to consider them wildflowers than to try and destroy their happy little faces. :)
