Springtime is Here

I went outside into the 72* weather today and dodged couples and bees to take a few pictures of the Spring that has finally arrived on campus.  It fully arrived on study day and I have spent the better part of every day since then (Thursday) inside studying or taking my finals.  I wish I could send the scents of the outdoors and the sounds to you through this page. It is impossible to have a bad day when you are surrounded by the glory of God. 

However, you will have to make do with a few pictures.  Unfortunately, while they give a glimpse of Spring, they certainly aren't worth the "thousand words" that pictures are famed to be.

These beautiful purple flowers are in the
bed beneath my favorite tree on campus.  

There's just something striking about the American flag
waving under a blue sky. 

Beautiful pink azaleas

One of my favorite walkways on campus -
now brightly decorated with flowering trees. 

Tulips, while beautiful, will always make me quote 'Picture Perfect':
"Look!  Tulips! A member of the lily family." -Bob
"Look! It's Bob. A member of the doofus family." -Alan

This guy was housing a bee until right when I snapped the picture.

I love looking up through flowers to see the sun.

"And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree  that is pleasant to  the sight..." Genesis 2:9a.

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8
