The buds on the trees are pop, pop, popping into these really great explosions of tree life. Reds and greens of all shades, future leaves that will create the food that the tree requires to produce this year’s growth, next year’s seeds, and the energy it will need to lay dormant during winter.

Random 60: Nice weather | Favorite on Viddler.

Today was a beautiful day in northeastern Pennsylvania. It hit 70 degrees! Although I didn’t have the chance to go for a jog, we did get to spend some time on the porch enjoying the cool breeze.

What do you like to do on the first day of really nice weather?

Adequate rain fall, cooler weather, and plenty of sun has made northeastern Pennsylvania richly covered in deep green this spring.  As summer quickly approaches, I’m sure this particular shade of green will begin to give way to a more yellow tint, but for now we’re enjoying some of the greenest greens I’ve seen in a long time. 

Under I-78 between Hellertown and Bethlehem, PA the trees are blooming.
