Spring?

Hard to believe that a day that could provide this view at noon could darken with gray skies and close down under a biting sleety rain but that's the weather we're having: spring one minute and winter the next. This is the Janion Building (1891) and the blossoming tree beside it is always one of the first to flower downtown. I think this is because of its proximity to the south-facing brick wall of the building. The Janion is also pictured here and here.
