You know that's where I'd live in MA...lol.

Mt Rainier - I remember seeing that from the Space Needle when I was there (when I was 15, so long ago ) I couldn't get over the fact that I was looking up at a mountain rising nearly 3 miles from sea level.

Couple more days and they are ready for the ground.

Peppers, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplants.



First time I've had Pepper flowers this early.

Today in another very warm and sunny day at Ioannina. I really love springs in this city. There are flowers and trees almost everywhere and there is a beautiful smell when you go out. It is a great season and in terms of temperatures, sun and precipitation. Not many frosts except some days in March, not cold it is just cool or warm, not hot, not dry and has balanced sunshine. Spring and autumn are the best seasons in this city because of the landscape and weather. In spring it has many flowers, sun and sudden thunderstorms, in autumn many leaves down to the ground and grey skies with rain and mist.

How's this for a comparison. Cool

"April into early May is such a transitional period - and while we notice it incrementally in the trees and plants - perhaps the best way to display the eruption of green growth this time of year is via high-resolution low-orbit satellite imagery. Check out the difference from just 35 days ago as seen from many hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface!"

Taurito is a rather ugly tourist complex, like you find many on the southern coast of Gran Canaria.
British Tourists dominate here.

The Beach

Not very pleasent, but swimable.

Pretty much Double or more amount of leaves in last 3-5 days.

May 7th I would now say

40% with leaves (mature)
50% with blooms
10% with just buds

Incredible difference. 30% of the blooms from 4 days ago area leafy now. There are still bare looking trees though.

Birch, Beech, Cherry leaves are out now.

Here's a comparison May 4 and this morning.





Look what I came across... Figures when I don't bring my camera with me on the morning hike. lol

Local Horse Farm in Stamford,CT comparison.

It still looked like winter 3 weeks ago. No color edit from April 14th although was with my cell phone I believe.

As usual...Quick to Green up here. More so past 1 week than past 3 weeks. Had we had below normal or even normal temps we would still have a lot of bare trees around. But we been well above normal for 7 days now and still another 5 coming.

Cool! Know what kind it is? I'm not too knowledgable about snakes but find them fascinating.
