Spring Trees Through The Eyes of a 10-Year Old

They were playing outside in the fresh spring air.

James, 10, came bounding through the door, a bolt of energy.

"Mom, I was looking up at the trees where the buds were, and you know what?"
"What?" I respond.

"There are leaves there now. All new and green."

"Oh, that is wonderful, honey! Spring is here, isn't it?"
He paused for a moment and I could see he was contemplating whether or not to ask me to go with him to look at them and then he said,
"Can I take some pictures,  please?"

"Of course, " I said, handing him the camera.


He was only gone a short while, and then he bounded back in.
"Look at them!" he said, handing me the camera, excited to share them with me.
And now, I am excited to share them with you.
