Cincinnati is vibrantly green! The fields, lawns and roadside forests are simply bursting from plentiful spring rain and sunshine. The trees are sort of--well--puffy with their large, supple leaves crowding each other on their branches. And the blades of grass push upwards like there's a race to the sky. Oh, and the birds are literally shouting across the neighborhood for attention. This is a big contrast to the sidewalks, concrete and bricks of New York City. A very nice contrast.
