If you’ve been following today’s weather reports (or live in Michigan), you probably already know that Michigan as well as much of the Midwest was blanketed in a few inches of snow.

Yeah. I was surprised too…and then I remembered where I live. Michigan likes to make you think it’s winter again in the middle of spring.

Anyhow, seeing that some of the spring flowers have popped up, I decided to grab my camera and take a few pictures, thinking the bright, vibrant colors of the flowers would strike an interesting contrast against the cold, white snow. I’ve uploaded the best pictures here as well as on my Flickr account, which you can view by clicking here. Now, I only had a short amount of time to take the pics because my camera’s battery tends to die rather quickly these days (I should really get around to replacing it already) so I only managed to get about 10 pictures, a couple of which aren’t focused as well as I’d like as I didn’t have time to snap a bunch of pics and hope one turned out alright. Overall though, I’m pleased with the results. Perhaps I’ll wait until Michigan’s next snowfall and get some additional pictures then.

I mean, this is Michigan after all. We’re bound to have another snowfall or three before summer.
