Flowers on my morning walk

I usually love to run, go to the gym, and hike outside.  When the pandemic started, the gyms closed and I set up a little home gym.  I also started a new routine of taking a LONG walk every morning, no matter the weather and early enough so there are few other people around.  As life has started slowing down, I am noticing more of the little things in my neighborhood, like these flowers, blooming with the start of spring, in front of a now closed hotel.  While it sounds cliche, I see the importance of stopping to smell the flowers, more so now than ever.
