Urban Sprall?

So there's this odd seasonal thing going on in Chiang Mai right now. 

It's getting quite a bit warmer, but it hasn't rained since October...

On the one hand, there are flowers bursting forth from every corner - very spring-like 

And on the other hand leaves are falling from the trees and collecting on the ground to be swished through and crunched on

Quite the wonderful seasonal combination.
