Last Saturday was the first day of spring, and almost as if on cue, the Bluegrass has burst into bloom this week. Forsythia’s golden hue is seen all over Clark County, and there are different varieties of magnolias in full flower around Winchester. These photographs were taken during a brief drive along Main Street, Boone Avenue and Old and New Boonesboro Roads.
