Creeping Speedwell, a tiny creeping plant in the grass, is blooming profusely in the park right now. I got right down on the ground on my belly to get these closeup shots!
Another shot of the same catkins, originally posted on 3/19. They are progressing slowly - much more slowly than normal, it seems - perhaps because of our colder than seasonal temps this spring!

Every day (finally!) I am seeing more and more signs of spring - willow leaves emerging:
