A Walk in Spring

It was a lovely day, and a lovely evenings walk here in the neighborhood...
It's the week when many of the trees will make their magical transition from bare to fully leafed, passing briefly through the soft, limey greens of spring. And it's the time of year when I find myself thinking:
re-leaf / relief -- is the similarity in these words purely accidental?

oh, and some baby oak leaves are RED, and the Gravensteins are blooming!
