Spring in San Jose

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.13.2009

Spring has come to San Jose! I took a walk around my neighborhood and took some pictures of the flowers blooming right now.

This was mostly for you non-Californians, since some of you might have not seen many palm trees.

I think this is a magnolia tree but I'm not sure.

These are the "rolling foothills" near my home.

I'd love to grow Calla lilies at some point.

There are tons of cherry blossom trees in bloom right now. The pink and dark branches are really dramatic and make for a nice drive down a street that's got lots of them on either side.

Here's a closeup of a cherry blossom.

This is some really pretty rosemary growing in somebody's front yard.
