Spring journal

Spring has sprung and every day something new pops!  My camera has been busy. I take photos on our morning walks and often write briefly about what I’ve seen later as a sort of nature diary. Today, three recent entries…

Winter / Spring

Winter’s grudge farewell
via two-faced Rain
(under grey nourishes change)

Spring’s hallelujah
Forsythia bursts golden
Hyacinths sweeten the air.

March gales do Spring’s inspections.
Not all that blooms is assured a future.
Catkin-laden branches
perish in their prime.

White blooms

Clematis armandii
Spring’s preposterous happiness–
her star!

Winter’s grey-brown tweeds
sporting gold, ruby pendants
ruffles of pearl, pink

Spring is unpacking her bags. As usual, they contain things that entice us to snap photos and write poems. I do hope Spring is making similar progress where you live. If not now, then soon!
