Found this shot in my email, a beauty from Rose Riemer. It captures the feel of this day here in the U.P... blue skies, because of high pressure, green leaves because of... well... it's spring.

Rose also included this taste of birch bark. Yummy.

Ahh! Sweet Birch

Fresh and bright.. It seems many of the trees in U.P skipped blooming thier flowers and jumped to having leaves this year. Bees must be starving.

hey rose! This is Shibu...pretty picture rose. I am in India, having a great time. Keep in touch!

I believe the author of the previous note appeared on the Pasty Cam earlier this month . . . . .
