I was watching the weather on the news last night, and even early this morning, and on both occasions was given assurance that a few rain showers were likely to creep into our area by sometime this afternoon. The clouds were a bit thicker than yesterday, I’ll admit that much, but precipitation was nowhere to be found.

However, the day did provide the opportunity for a couple more scenes of the season.

The beautiful Bradford Pear Trees continued to bloom lively on this mild late day in March. On a drive down Grandin Road I was caught in something of a Spring snowstorm, with the white blooms of those trees swirling around in a breeze on my windshield and the pavement ahead.

Bradford Pear Trees Bordering a Section of Grandin Road (3/28/08)

Much of both sides of this section of Grandin Road, from the theatre to the intersection at Brandon Avenue, are considerately bordered with these decorative trees. And, that in itself can make for quite a pitcturesque moment.

Maybe it’s not so bad when the meteorologists are a little bit off on the forecast.
