I like the first buds of spring. They tell you that the dark winter days are leaving us and the good weather lies ahead. Green growth is coming! These emerging leaves are on the Horse Chestnut trees that fill the pedestrian area of the Promenade. Cheltenham is quite a 'green' town, with lots of trees, parks and open spaces all helping the town breathe.Wednesday, 5 March 2008

In my neck of the woods we're still quite a few weeks away from seeing green growth.
Thanks for the photo.
This gives me hope. We move the clocks ahead this weekend and it will be lighter later which is a start but our horse chestnuts are a quite a few weeks away from this.
i always love this time in spring too when the tree buds start to awaken... we got some snow in a few areas in dallas last night, so hopefully it didn't damage any!
What a wonderful photo that represents the hope of spring. Thank you.
Beautiful, optimistic photo! It makes me smile!
As soon as I saw this I thought it was from a Butternut tree but see from your post it is from a Chestnut tree. They must be close relatives as this much looks a lot like the Butternut used to look. Nice photograph.
That's such a lovely photo of the emerging leaves. They look so fresh and the green is a very vibrant color. Very nice!
