Spring comes to the block.

When I was in college I walked past a group of trees in full pink bloom and thought to myself—I should really take a picture of that. But I didn’t.

Two days later I walked past that same group of trees and they had already transitioned into their full summer green. I thought I had more time left to take a picture, but I didn’t.

I’m going to resist the urge here to go into a full-scale discourse on the momentariness of Spring and life; the metaphor is a little too on the nose for my liking. All I’ll say is that the fact that you don’t know how many more times you’ll get to see a tree in full pink bloom—is it 5 more times? 20? 40?—doesn’t mean it’s infinite.

So delete a few of the screenshots you’re never really going to look at again, free up some space on your phone, and take a picture of the pink tree. Start a block association. Post it to your website. Ramble about it on the home page. That tree will be green before you know it.
