Ladybug Ladybug...

I walked through the botanical garden today to get a "baseline."  I love watching as the season unfolds.  Tulips are blooming, though not yet the thick covering of last year--and the colors don't seem quite as bright.  The ponds are still pretty empty... no lily pads or frogs yet.  Lots of buds.  Lots of people.  And a new "garden gates" exhibit.
