Spring has sprung!

Last week I was walking with Christina to Fred Meyer for something to do, and I walked past these absolutely beautiful trees that line the sidewalk of a nearby apartment complex. Every spring and summer these trees sprout the most gorgeous pink petals. I couldn't resist taking some pictures, so I can remember how beautiful it is, even when it's winter again and the trees are bare. It may sound wierd, but I really feel like these trees are one of God's ways of getting my attention and reminding me that He loves me.  Even just seeing the pretty petals strewn on the ground makes me smile.
