Yet more signs of spring

Signs of spring

After a longer than usual winter the green grasses are starting to appear.  Pictured above are some of the grasses growing along Bassett Creek, highlighted with the morning's dew.

At right is a kite that was eaten by a tree in the park.  Let's hope it is made of a material that is recyclable, not plastic, otherwise it might soon end up floating in the pond nearby and be a long-term unwelcome addition.

Como Park Conservatory

This is the week spring vacation starts in our school district.  However if one looks outside it is still looks a lot like winter, with snow covering the ground. We did however get a nice dose of green growth at the Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul.
