Seeds of Change

Amazing -- it was just a few weeks ago that the maples were resplendent in their spring finery -- their tiny red flowers heralding the arrival of April. Within a few short weeks, the leaves are emerging, and a big seed crop is on the way. These maples in Nichols Arboretum will soon be fully leafed out in a week or two. Things happen SO quickly. I'm glad we have cameras to document these changes.
