Here are some random observations/images of spring and Old Hickory Village.

I love the spring rain. I love the threat of severe storms, thunder, lightning and winds. This is my favorite puddle in my neighborhood at 11th and Birdsall. It is such a work of art. I try to photograph it as much as I can because I always see something different in it.

This puddle is a few feet away from my favorite puddle. It is a little more subtle but just as beautiful.

Bear doing his best Rin Tin Tin!

Spring brings us these works of art from the Maple tree. The whirly bird. Beautiful spring green.

The saucer magnolia bloom. The first sign that spring is just around the corner.

Second sign of spring: the violets. I absolutely LOVE violets. Some consider them a weed but there is nothing more magnificent than a yard full of these sweet white and purple faces in early spring.
