Spring came fast last week, as shown by the pictures I took at Schenley Park on Wednesday and Friday, March 14 and 16.

Spring morning with dew, Wednesday March 14.

Coltsfoot starting to bloom (Wednesday).

Magnolia bud opening (Wednesday).

Female flowers on red maple (Wednesday).

And by Friday….

Spicebush flowers are open.

…and Wednesday’s magnolia bud is now a flower.
