... no denying that spring has arrived in the Upper Midwest. Melting snow is slowly revealing the grass, birds are singing, and even the setting sun is powerful enough to warm us. With 50 degree temperatures in the forecast for the next few days my thoughts are turning to the first bike ride of the year. 
So nice...
I think I'll never get used to winter...Spring and summer all the way!
Thanks. I'm getting less used to winter every year. : ) I'm a spring and summer guy too!
Man, great picture! Happy birthday to your son 😊 (I didn't even know you had one 😯)

Wow look at the sharpness of that sunset reflections, it's more than beautiful wow, I must say your description of the picture is amazing, I'm glad the snow are starting the go, outdoor events will be cool
Waoh, what a beautiful sunset, fits in perfectly to the wallpaper of phone or a desktop screen saver. I really love the angular streak made by the ray of light.
Beautiful, I must say.
First bike ride? At 50% temperature? What? Am not sure we've experienced something as high as this here, that's half of an hundred degrees of a boiling water. Jesus !!!.
All I can say is, keep enjoying yourself.
I'll surely try this Appics one day, reminds me of #Steepshot.
This is 50 degrees Fahrenheit so just 18 degrees above freezing. It's still warm to us though. You should try Appics, it hasn't crashed on me once since I've been testing it.
In india 50 degree temp will come in the month of June and July . Nice photo .
There is summer season is coming fast in india.
Nice capture of Sun. Sun is shining very well.
The way the brightness of the sun illuminate to cause a golden street waohed me. I so much love it when reflection creates an impression.
You really took this picture at the right time.
As we were walking to dinner to celebrate our son’s birthday last night there was ... The most beautiful sunset 🌇 ever
Yes it is a glorious time of year! I live in Michigan and we yet to have any blooms yet, the soggy ground tells us that it won't be long!

Spring season feels best when winter season is long lasting
Spring season is my favourite season.
Surely you are very happy welcoming the spring, sir. Plants and animals also happy. Season like a spinning wheel always comes and goes and so does the fate of humans.
@ericvancewalton, This weather is like new shine after the long journey. After experiencing so much cold and snow world and then we experience warm sun rays, that experience will be healing time.
