Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; And after summer evermore succeeds Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold: So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.
– Shakespeare, Henry VI part 2
Thought I’d take photos of some late winter beauty today, to remind me that I won’t need my winter coat much longer. Not much snow so far this year, but tons and tons of rain. I had begun to think that my world will be cold and soggy indefinitely.
And then a day like today happens.
They blanket the shaded areas; the floor of the woods glows with them.This is the first sun to touch them today.
I love these.Lovely, simple, beauty.
Makes me think of a Japanese painting.This is Handsome. He’s an old friend but I can never remember his real name, so I call him Handsome. He seems to like it.I love the juxtaposition of last year’s blossoms and this year’s buds.
I cannot fully express how much joy these sweet things bring me.About two hours later, I went out to my garden and this is what greeted me.
What follows is a study of crocuses. I hope they put a smile on your face and hope in your heart that winter will soon be over, with warmer days not far behind.
I'm a Canadian who loves our planet and the people living on it. I also love to travel and take pictures. I'd like to think I've improved a little, but am pretty sure there's room to be better.
