Spring has been lovely in Dushanbe this year. I am reveling in refreshing rain showers, times of sunshine, balmy temperatures, and lovely flowers.
The tulips planted in front of classic buildings are in full bloom.

The trees (chinar? plane? sycamore?) lining the walkway on Rudaki Blvd are starting to green:
Just six weeks ago
this was the scene there:
Less than two weeks ago the plum trees were in bloom in Rudaki Park. Now those petals have fallen and the the magnolias and forsythia are out. Walkways have been planted with pansies and tulips.

But, I must add a note of realism to all this beauty.
This is also a city where repairs to fountains can leave hunks of concrete and open holes in the middle of a walkway on Sunday afternoon.
