After all our recent rain spring is beginning to emerge at Claremont Wilderness Park, with a noticeable color change in the hilly terrain over the past week. Claremont should see sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s by the weekend. The bloom will likely get more intense in the coming weeks as our weather warms. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger
