Green is showing on trees

Yes, the green is beginning to glow on the trees.

Trees on the horizon

These trees will probably have leaves by next week.

Different week

Last Thursday, these daffodils were struggling with inches of snow.  They are tough little flowers.  Just a few days later it is as if the snow never covered them.

International Fair

Virginia Tech students and their families come from many nations.  The fair gives Blacksburg residents a chance to glimpse just a bit of their other lives.

Many nations in this pix

The International Fair seemed a success. 

No...no....no

Yesterday my group played golf, really.  Today, the snow is so deep Virginia Tech cancelled classes in the afternoon. 

It must be spring

'Twas the first session of a golf clinic and a beautiful day for it too.

Odd scenes

At the mural in downtown, the metal plate information is VPI water.  It seems to retain an older bit of information. The mural is one of the oldest, too.
