Signs of spring are popping up around the neighborhood. Northern California had the nicest weather recently, especially after many days of rain.

Pretty and colorful red tulip and some daffodils. I wish they were in pastel colors, as they always remind me of Easter eggs.

One of the neighbor’s apple tree, we suspect it’s crab apple blossoms.

These are some kind of purple flowering bush. I don’t know what they are called, but they are pretty. Update: I was told these are “California Lilac” or Ceanothus.

One more surprise… freesia bulb found it’s way into my bamboo pot.
