Springtime in Chicago?

Flowers from some dear friends were in full bloom this morning as we were doing final packing. I couldn't help but take a break, shoot some macro images and then make this collage for today.
Sitting in Miami's airport and leaving for Santiago in about 30 minutes. Very exciting now that we are packed and the first leg of the trip is behind us.
Thanks for the kind wishes for our vacation!
