Signs of spring

Just an assortment of photos taken over the course of the day, both when I was at work and when I stopped by my folks' place afterward.

I was sitting on the front steps of the museum when I took this picture of a rhododendron branch against the sky:



A flowering crabapple tree served as the backdrop for this photo of some maple leaves:

A branch of an apple tree blossoming in my parents' yard; there were so many bees working the branches it sounded like I was standing next to a hive:



A wild strawberry plant:



No idea what these next two flowers are:





A vinca growing by a corner of the house:



Finally, the obligatory Kaylee picture:
