Signs of spring

I found some "hints" of spring in town. 

 

Aren't they beautiful? I used to like falls for long time (maybe because I was born in fall), but I like spring now. I really enjoy recognizing what trees they are by finding flowers on them.

And here are some other pics about spring:

Yum~~~~!!!!! Hey, who said "Ah! Gross!"? Wrong reaction. You should have said "Oh, yummy!" 

This is Shad roe, a sign of spring in US (don't tell me "I don't know such stuff!" American people :-D). It's available only about a month in this season throughout the whole year. I heard it's good with Japanese style recipe too, so I cooked half of them with soy sauce broth with daikon radish. 

The store person said his favorite recipe is battered with flour and sautee in bacon grease.  That's sounds yummy too. I will try it for the other half.
