I have been walking around my neighborhood looking like a dignified Asian tourist for the past few days.

With this huge camera around my neck, I snapped random pictures of flowers in my own backyard, and on the front lawns of my neighbors.

In the early mornings, when I take the kids to school, I see neighbors zooming through our residential streets quickly. They seem too busy to notice the fresh beauty brought on by the gentle powers of spring.

It is beautiful out this time of the year. Everywhere you look, fresh flowers are in full bloom with brilliant colors waving mildly in the light wind.

Here are some of my pictures taken just a day or two ago.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the Boston bombings. Life is precious.
