Here's week 2 in this year's edition. This picture is a slightly cropped version of my usual 'view from the back' deck photo to show that the shrubs are actually beginning to flower as they bud out. The color is a very vivid pink; it just doesn't show well in this photo (I should have cropped it more - my bad).
The next picture is another of the pond, taken from about midway down the stairs (about the location of the bench in the photo above).
The trees are beginning to show some signs of life here and there, but for the most part are still barren. But by the time summer fully arrives, the pond will be mostly obscured except for the dock area at the near side of the pond.
The last photo is of the house from the far side of the pond - that section we call the boat launch area even though I doubt a boat other than the pedal boat has ever been launched from there.
The house is clearly visible at the top of the hill, but again, by summer it will be totally obscured by the foliage. Till next week, then.
Last week's pictures are here.
