Today's temperature hovered around 90 degrees as I headed out for a trail walk in Holden Arboretum.

Transition time: winter to spring
Although some of these pictures were taken on my last winter trail walks, others were taken today, and believe it or not, today is the first day of spring. The past week has been a time of transition between the two seasons. However, even though today is the first official day of spring, all these …
