Twinkling spring is back in town. Crossing lights shine on the Platanus Avenue as if sprouts are making a fuss under the sunshine.

Even though it's cold in the shadow, people feel light and walk faster. And, this is the best season for family outings.

The dark-colored bricks reflecting on the glass door now appeals its rich color. This also makes me feel the breath of spring.

The platanus behind the window will have light green leaves and cover the pavement gently. I look forward to seeing the city getting beautified.

This is another scene of spring. The warm weather makes us relaxed, and after lunch, we start dreaming.

Take off winter clothes and put on spring items like this pretty bowler hat and pair of socks. Meanwhile, the grandpa is into a newspaper.

The downtown becomes dramatic thanks to the light and shadow. This is the 3D world. Add green, and it'll be perfect.

This is Linda from Los Angeles and she's visiting with two sisters. Seattle must feel colder than LA, but she seems to like the clear and quiet air here. I shot before I got her permission, but we became friends after shooting. This is why I love street photography.

Soon, we'll see a round cloud in the clear sky like today's... this is a line I imagined while passing the old man with fluffy white beard.

In spring, I like to go to herb shops to get spring aroma and tastes. Just by being inside, I feel so refreshed that I keep taking deep breath.

The cool looking old woman's happy face matches with this season. Spring is here, too. I like the iPad stand, too.

Winds blowing through buildings are still cold, but I even sweat in the sunny place. This vital and young style can't be created without longing for spring.

Outing is always fun in spring because I can find spring anywhere just by paying a little attention. I become more energetic. I stretch my body. And, I smile. Yes, another fun year is about to start.
