Blooming Beverly Hills: 1st Day Of Spring 2017

It’s the first day of spring! And, although it may not be a sunny day in L.A., it sure is colorful here in Beverly Hills!

The spring equinox (also, called the vernal equinox) falls on Monday, March 20, 2017. The word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning “equal night.” The vernal, or spring, equinox is the point at which the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator from south to north, signaling the beginning of nature’s renewal in the Northern Hemisphere. — The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Captured here are two famous fixtures, the Beverly Hills sign and the Hymn of Life: Tulips sculpture by artist Yayoi Kusama at Beverly Gardens Park, on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Amazing what a commuter’s camera can catch while stopped in traffic…
