After a batch of April showers, the clouds are parting.
This is the first snail we've seen since last autumn. It was doing its thing on a skunk cabbage leaf.
It actually is snowing in the hills around us. Here in the valley, we got rain and cold - the current temperature is a little above freezing.
It's Friday, so here's a picture showing my sky. It's a little unusual, but all that...stuff is certainly up in the sky!
Yesterday I posted a photo of the white bleeding hearts. That plant sits next to this one; a pink colour. The pink ones are the most common.
I was away for the weekend, and when I left, these bleeding hearts were mere sprouts 3 inches tall (8cm). When I got back, they were 3 feet tall (1m) and in bloom! These plants amaze me every year.
Went to the park and all the pine trees decided simultaneously to shed their cones. They were everywhere! But no squirrels. Apparently they have no seeds, so they aren't interesting to them.
I brought this geranium indoors last autumn, and it patiently sat on my radiator all winter, but patient no more, it strains for the sun just beyond those shades. As soon as I finish this photo, it'll see the sun once more.
The violets appear so quickly, I'm always happy to see them. It seems they're gone before I know it.
There used to be a maple tree out front, but it was very old, branches were dead and falling down, so the city came and cut it down. The stump is still there, and although that old maple isn't alive any longer, it has birthed these mushrooms, growing in a pyramid right in the middle.
Not much to look at yet, but this is an example of how plants find a way to grow everywhere! The closest Lily of the Valley is about a yard (meter) to the right. This one grew from a root reaching under the concrete to this crack, where it found enough water and sun to sprout through to the surface.
The Congregation Gates of Heaven have these beautiful cherry trees; they are a delicate pink colour. They don't last for very long - this is the first day they've been fully opened.
An old tree in Central Park. I like the sun and shadows here. I hope this tree gets buds soon!
A foggy day. Fog isn't that common here, so I haven't much practice trying to capture it.
Had some fog yesterday and the dew was coating everything including this spider's web.
A warm spring day and we went to see the geese and ducks at Central Park's duck pond. The backpack holds bread for the critters and snacks for the people. We were both wearing shorts and aloha shirts (from Hawai'i) and were thoroughly happy about being in the sun again!
This project has occupied a bit of my time lately. It's called SAN2PC - Spectrum Analyzer to PC. It's a box that reads analog outputs from a spectrum analyzer and converts it into something a modern PC can process. That's a really cool thing because it means that an instrument made in the early 1970s can interface with a PC! 
The flowers of Easter - daffodils. These lovely flowers are always here on Easter morning, greeting us with their cheery colour. Happy Easter!
I hope this isn't considered cheating, but my sky today is a clear blue without any distinguishing characteristics at all, so I snuck in this budding tree for something to look at.
It's the first of the month, which means that the City Daily Photo community post photos representing a different theme each month. This month, the theme is Red. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
