The unbelievable

Its unbelievable to think that only 1681 km aka 150 minutes worth of flying away from here the trees are in bloom and the air is full of spring. Here you can find hints of spring in the air as well, but here that fragile spring is still fighting off the grabby hands of winter.

The Sunset in Bloom, St James Park, 2012

The view she faced was stunning. She almost didn’t recognize the City. Streets lined with magnolia and white lilac in full bloom. The change was too unexpected from the winter scenery she remembered. White flowers now filled the streets instead of snow, yet the reflective cobblestones of the pavement and liquid emerald of the bay where exactly the way she remembered.

A soft breeze of warm spring air saturated with the sweet delicious scent of lilac wrapped around her like a shawl.
