Pittsburgh in Spring

Over the last couple of weeks, Pittsburgh transformed into a uniform grey and brown into an area bursting with color! Coming from Texas & Australia, I have never truly experienced spring in a four-season climate. As a result, I am equally fascinated by the daffodils, tulips, and flowering trees as I was with the snow not four months earlier!

Words can't describe the beauty, so here are some photos, taken with my phone.

White flowering trees lining North Craig street. This street is right by CMU and has a number of restaurants and coffee shops.
