The wind carries my song
From my lips to the corners of the earth,
And the flowers in gladness bloom,
The trees stand a little taller,
And the springs bubble from the roots of the mountains.
The wind carries my whispers
From my teeth to the skies.
But I am oblivious to their sound;
My musings fall not upon my own ears.
Give me grace to renounce my own voice on the wind,
For sometimes I don’t believe it’s there,
Despite the love of flowers for the sound in air.
And yet I sing on
Desperate to hear the melody for myself,
Clinging on to an ancient belief
Give me grace to renounce
Persephone, by David Mills
Lets' hope we'll soon be seeing lots of these......(taken today in my kitchen as it's too horrid to go out...). You might like to try full screen in lightroom if you have the time; I'm quite pleased with the detail. Nikon D700 with 70-200mm F2.8 at 112mm, F5.6 and 12mm extension tube. Tripod and remote release 1/5 sec.
The blossoms and flowers were out in force as we visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The meadow flowers and grasses here in Rutland are just starting to show well here in our little wildflower meadow on the edge of Empingham Village.

I painted these tulips a couple of years ago. They remind me of Spring...Perhaps it's just around the corner.
The afternoon sun causes shadows and light to play across the surface of Blue Star Spring just to the north of Old Faithful Geyser in the Yellowstone National Park’s Upper Geyser Basin. The vent, enclosed by a thin, overhanging ring of orange-grey sinter, produces a small stream of water that flows a short distance north and down into the adjacent Firehole River. Blue Star has been know to have small but rare geyser activity where it erupts a small dome of water a couple of feet high.Usually it is a calm, gently rippling pool. Because of the proximity to the crowds at Old Faithful, some thoughtless or self centered visitors throw coins and other liter into the spring. Besides being illegal, such activity can block the throat of a spring and cause damage to the thermal feature. During the park’s early history, before we understood just how fragile thermal features can be, concessionaries as well as visitors from the nearby tent camps and lodges threw their trash into this spring, In 1946, Park Naturalist, George Marler, decided to ‘clean’ out the spring. The resulting pile of rubbish measured 6 feet long and 3 feet wide! Please refrain from throwing anything into the thermal features.
Animals can ocassionally fall into the thermal features. For a while one could see bones in Blue Star Spring from a a bison calf that fell into the spring sometime in the 1980’s. Look and you may see bones in a few of Yellowstones’ hot springs.
Welcome back to me! Today, fortunately, the sun became a little 'see, so I went out with my little Nikon. Unfortunately, after a while it started to rain and then I had to go home. But I hope, however, that the photos you like them!

Just couldn't resist taking a shot of these trees with their beautifully fresh spring foliage back lit by the sun. Unfortunately the bluebells were not out in these woods as the hillside faces north. This was taken on a lovely walk this week.

Have a great weekend everyone.
I got this shot close to home, while I lived in Vallentuna for a week this Spring. Already looks like summer, doesn't it? People hadn't begun launching their boats quite yet.
