Early spring When wooden bud and the bud of flower change to grass green, I remember the sweet scent of the Maple tree of early spring Vancouver.
The diary in April, 2002 is copied into below. And the sketch at that time is also carried here.
My Dialy： Early Spring/April 2002
I came back to Vancouver from Banff in afternoon today. I saw signs of spring everywhere until leaving for Vancouver. But I felt that spring is in the air on the Maplewood Flats. I felt a smell of maple flower, and saw light green of trees, bush, thicket and grass. The birds are becoming very busy. And spring in Vancouver break began the smell of the flower of maple wood.

I saw signs of spring everywhere on the morning.
This picture is one of my favorite sketches.
