Daffodils in bloom between Shore Road and the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge
The first signs of Spring are evident throughout the boroughs this week. While daffodils have been in bloom for a few weeks now, tulips are on the verge of opening, and many pear, cherry and plum trees seem to be at their prime.
The Spring colors have been striking. Here are some photos I have taken over the last week in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I couldn’t find a single Spring blossom along the Gowanus Canal from my vantage point on the Union Street Bridge.
