The Soft Side of Spring / by Dave Hileman

Wandering in the gardens of the University of Tennessee’s Botanical Gardens was a treat in the early spring. The weather was a bit nippy with a wind off the river but flowering trees and the first of the bright and colorful flowers were starting to emerge and a few ferns just showing the tips of the fiddleheads. I loved the color of these Lenten Roses in the overcast light of the morning.
