SIGNS OF SPRING: A young boy reaches up for a cherry blossom while a smaller tree is lit up by a a street lamp at Branch Brook Park, Tuesday, April 21, in Newark, N.J. The replica of the frigate Hermione, used to bring French troops and funds to American revolutionaries in 1780, sails near Fouras, southwest France, on his way for its transatlantic voyage, Saturday, April 18. The voyage, rich with diplomatic symbolism, will take the 213-foot Hermione along the same path its namesake took under France's Marquis de Lafayette's command 235 years ago, retracing a journey that laid the foundation of French-American relations.
