An afternoon that literally SCREAMS spring is coming

i promised myself a nice long walk this afternoon if i got some work done... after many fits and starts, i managed to wrap it up by mid-afternoon and headed out to parque de los ninos and the adjoining paseo de la costa that border the rio de la plata, where the capital district ends and the province of buenos aires begins...

it was one of those afternoons that was warm enough to FEEL like spring is on the way, the air SMELLED like spring is on the way, there were enough folks in the park walking and sunning that it LOOKED like spring is on the way, the birds were busily doing their bird thing and it SOUNDED like spring is on the way, and there were even small swarms of gnats to remind you that spring has a few (very few) occasionally annoying features too... ah, well...
