The cherry trees have begun their magical work of blanketing the city in pink and white blossoms. It’s my favourite time of year, and I end up photographing flowers on a daily basis because they are incredibly beautiful.

As with last year, there are trees coming into bloom earlier in the season than in years past, like the magnolia and Flowering Quince above. It has me wondering if this is the new normal, and what are the long term implications.
