Spring has arrived in downtown Milwaukee. On my coffee run at noon, I spotted one tree in bud around the perimeter of the Slice of Ice skating rink in Red Arrow Park.

And a panoramic view of the entire rink below (just because 🙂 ) with the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in the background. The tree sprouting buds is at the far left, just to the right of that pine and practically invisible against the brick of the Milwaukee Center office tower behind it, while all the other trees are still winter bare.
