Spring comes to the silver maples

My brother Stephen alerted me to the fact that this is the time of year to check the silver maples.  This time last year, I did not know what a silver  maple was, but now I do, and I knew exactly where to go to see silver maples.

I saw the blooming when I looked Thursday, March 10, but there was too much snow to get close to them.  I took the photos Friday, March 11, when a lot of the snow had melted.
