This is my last spring at this location to photograph the blooming of the birch tree outside my condo. I'm moving in less than a month after living on this same street for 39 years so I'm a bit nostalgic about this birch. I've photographed it in spring, fall and winter when it's covered with heavy snow. I took this shot Thursday - we are under a winter storm watch for tomorrow with 4-8" of heavy wet snow possible. I don't think I've ever seen snow on the catkins before so we'll see what happens to all of our blooming tulips,crab trees, magnolias and daffodils after tomorrow.
