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

What are these days we call spring

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.

YELLOW daffodils,  so bright like the day and simply nature’s perfection!

spring is here

spring is here

I am strongly fascinated with floral photography at the moment.  It is not enough for me to see a flower.  To look at the flower.  I must capture it and somehow bring another dimension to it’s true beauty.  The camera magnifies it’s phenomenal beauty tenfold by the intricate make-up of one simple flower or a parade of many.  I can only describe it as a dance.  Sometimes when I look at my garden after the rain, it has that certain look which I call “The floral ballet.”  I took this one inside one of my nearby garden center last year.  I was looking through my archive and brought this one back to life sort of speak.

The flower is the poetry of reproduction.  It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life. ~Jean Giraudoux
