Sure is, we hit freezing last night so the leaf turn is in the works. That photo is from a earlier season.

Oh, I love this time of year, Michael.
Naturally, in the southern hemisphere spring has just begun – my second favourite season.
What a surprise regarding the possibility of the sap boiling down to maple syrup in the early spring. Yum! I know I’d definitely try it if I could.
