I didn’t intend for this to turn into a series showing how spring appeared in New Mexico, but that’s what happened.

First, there was this image, which I made on March 22 in Santa Fe, of a tree without any new leaves. Then there’s this shot, from March 24, showing trees just about to burst into full bloom.

And now, today, is a photo that I made in March 26, at a bus shelter in Albuquerque. One tree is newly leafed, and the other one is exuberantly clad in white blossoms.

These are nice lessons to remember now that winter has arrived: there’s hope.
