Actually, they are right on the usual schedule. These photos were from today’s bike ride along the Nakagawa. Note how beautiful the weather is. It’s still a bit cold, but the skies were a brilliant clear blue.

And, for the first time this year, I actually see some of the buds in bloom. It’s still just a few, but it started.

The first photo just has buds, but I thought it looked nice against the sky.
