Skies: nimbostratus.
Things are starting to bud out. I see redbuds in bloom when I take my lunch time constitutional. We have had some above normal temps with low precipitation in the weeks leading up this one. My hope is that the rain we are getting today will help things green up.
This photo is of a red osier dogwood by the South Dakota Discovery Center's butterfly garden. You can barely see the budburst but they are there. The bud on the bottom left is 1.5 cm long.
The red osier dogwood is a species of interest for Project Budburst, a phenology based citizen science project. Look for the report on the Budburst map.
