Stop and smell the roses.

Overnight, this city blossomed. A particularly funny habit of people here is this: to stop and take pictures with the blooming trees. Look at how happy she is! Aw, spring in the city is great. And funny.  
Now, men, be aware that this botanical affection applies to both genders. I almost ran into a car while riding my bike because I did a double take on some grown (and rather tough lookin) men using their camera phones to capture trees on the side of the road. What a paradox. I hope this revelation frees you to enjoy spring wherever you are. 
On a serious note, I have learned something from this culture. I have learned the value of enjoying rest and treasuring the simple things in life. There is no shame in taking 5 minutes out of the craziness of the day to enjoy the spring flowers.
