Friday Flowers

Maple tree flowers, a bit of a nuisance to clean off the deck, but welcome as a sign of spring.  Check it out in LARGE.

"When the groundhog casts his shadow
And the small birds sing
And the pussywillows happen
and the sun shines warm
And when the peepers peep
Then it is Spring."
Margaret Wise Brown

The peepers have definitely started peeping, so I guess it is.
