Who am I kidding. Yeah, the violets can make me smile, but the flowering quince and budding lilacs and red and green tipped maple trees are also screaming out “Get off your ass and get out here and clean the gardens; plant something!”
The pressure, depending upon the mood it catches me in, has been known to cause me to stomp upon the happy little violet heads.

So this was the photo that I in fact found when looking for flowering quince, which I love. But I love violets too. Nice shot.
