Wisconsin’s winter has ended early, and that’s tragic for people like me who like to wrap up in warm blankets and wear sweaters while sitting in front of the fire. But since the brown grass is giving way to green grass and plants are starting to bud, I thought I’d take the opportunity to document some of the transformation. I had the perfect chance the other day when I was walking a dog. We passed a budding tree shortly after a light rain had stopped, so the green was vibrant and there were water droplets hanging. It was just such a perfectly spring sight.
