IMAGES: Flowers of Spring

Friday, April 26, 2013 - 23:14 by Chris Spencer, HNN Photographer, by Tony E. Rutherford, News Editor
What a difference a year makes. March 2012 earned the "warmest" while March 2013 has been among the cooler months as well as April 2013. A little more than a year ago, photographer Chris Spencer snapped these blooms. The piece is reported just as Spencer wrote and photographed it. (Spencer passed away in May 2012).

HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN)  March closed out officially as the warmest on record  for the Huntington area bringing out flowers and trees in bloom  much earlier than normal.  With the start of April many flowers and trees are showing signs of  blooming  about two weeks early. Dogwoods are already out with beautiful whites and pinks  that look stunning against a bright blue sky.    Colorful tulips, tree peonies have their flower blooms now.   Some roses were  also in flowering bloom as March closed out. For grass cutters the weather is a delight.   Grass  has been  growing at full steam ahead with many having  to mow several times already.
