Springtime Continues

Another round of flowers are blooming.

Azaleas are in full bloom, and it seems  like they’re everywhere.

Trees are also blooming and filling out.

Of course, along with all of this growth comes the pollen which is terrible in Georgia. There is green powder on everything. Even though I’m not allergic to anything, all of the particulate matter in the air bothers my eyes and makes me cough. It’s pretty bad.

Finally, I saw the sunlight coming through these stained-glass windows on Palm Sunday morning, and it reminded me again of all of the colors that show up during springtime.
