As an ex-midwesterner, I appreciate the pics.
Spring is on its way out here in So. Cal. The flowers are up, some setting seed, and the grass is showing the first hint of brown, and the ponds are getting smaller. Here we really don't have four seasons, just two: wet winters and dry summers. The wet season is almost over.
Still, the tree frogs are singing in the canyons. Enjoy the spring!
