Spring arising

Feast your eyes on this blossoming redbud tree, Cercis canadensis, rising sunnily above a tangle of greenbrier vines, Smilax bona-nox, on the afternoon of February 13. The location was a margin of land between a driveway that runs behind the stores in a shopping center, and a construction site that happens to be on the property where I’ve often mentioned having taken pictures while I still could. So here’s an unexpected and literal fringe benefit from that now-being-built-on site.
