Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) bud emerging. Today marks the vernal or spring equinox, when the hours of day and night are exactly 12 hours each — except that they are not. But you can take that up with your local astronomer if you’d like. Otherwise, enjoy the eruption of life here in the northern hemisphere in the coming weeks.
The Sweetgum was in Green-Wood on Sunday. The rest of these were yesterday in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
