Photo of the Day: Buds of April

Because of the wildly variable weather of the last few weeks, the cherry blossoms at Overpeck County Park in Leonia, NJ, are not yet in full bloom. Nevertheless, the sight of their early buds is enough to give me hope that they will be out, in all their beautiful profusion, soon. I took this image yesterday, on a much-needed afternoon walk around the park, in temperatures that, while still not ideal, were enough to lure me out.
