Yesterday  gray, today bright orange.

Yesterday  fierce  cold, today  heat  warming my heart.

Yesterday was January, Today welcome June.

Yesterday wintry white for miles,

Today only green luscious canvas with splashes of yellow, red and pink.

The earth beneath my feet screaming with delight

As the carpet of green and drapes of new season surrounds me.

How can one not be with nature

when the scream of renewal can be heard so loud for miles.

My heart fled with glee as I visit my garden each morning.

To touch the new blooms of white roses,

To see as each plant greets with new growth,

I must truly be insane but simple joy in my heart

is a million dreams revisited!

“Happy Spring to all!”

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

sometimes I wish it was june all year round
have you ever wondered what it would be like
just to bask at the warmth of the new spring sun
to walk barefoot in one’s garden
and witness all of nature’s glory
oh so sweet, so sweet my rose garden shows
for not one but an abundance of white
parading against the lush green canvas
but then I will miss the red, yellow, blue and purple
for they soon will show in July, August and September

My rose garden is now three years old.  I am glad now that I heeded away from all the horrors I’ve read about the hardship of maintaining a rose garden.  My hobby of photography led me to this new passion.  I never knew how I have been captivated by floral photography until now.  It’s funny isn’t it how one passion can lead us into many others.  As a result of this new obsession, I thought I’d share the beauty of these white roses before it’s demise.  What can I say?  It simply takes my breath away.  I will be posting the other colors as the new season progresses.

here is a quote for today:

Where flowers bloom so does hope.
-  Lady Bird Johnson, Public Roads: Where Flowers Bloom

Do you know the name of this spring flowering plant?

growing wild up north

As I was walking my dog Sandy, I saw a glimpse of yellow by my feet.

As ussual, armed with my handy Sony Cyber-shot, I simply had to take a photo

of this beautiful spring bloom.  I have no idea what it is called.  If you know, I would

really appreciate a note.  The plant is only about a foot in height with one bloom.

They grow in cluster near the lake, more specifically by Georgian Bay.

Here is a quote for the last week of spring:

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors,

there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

by:   Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke

signs of spring

colors of spring

spring colors

What are these days we call spring

I cannot help but question

I use to ignore all the signs

But today, I could no longer

They are everywhere

Green  Green  Green

The warming breeze against my face

as I take my morning stroll

Not too far

Just around my little corner of the world

I am consciously bombarded

by the colors

some miniscule

as I look down

tiny new life

sprouting everywhere

My senses arouse once again

The movie of spring colors

Accompanied by the orchestra of

feathered friends in the background

once again the signs of new life

Spring make one hopeful of good things to come

A sense of renewal evident

My sense of sight hightened

spotting bright reds, yellow and green.

My sense of hearing tuned perfectly

to all the feather friends songs

my canvas now complete under the bright

spring sunburst of lights

My day forever

A   gift

i crave nothing more

than this life

“It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across
from west to east. The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in
the air, which set an edge to a man’s energy.”

-   Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Standing tall and proud, they are, they are, so they adorn my front door.

In the sea of Green, my lone Yellow tulip, I found in my backyard.
