Spring arrived at 1:00am EDT but it feels like it's already been around for weeks....not that I'm complaining :)
Better on black
Not a focus stack, just a shot of my Peony bush a couple of weeks ago, pushing out new growth. I liked the colors and the freshness, so I decided to post it.
Happy Spring everyone!
...for a short moment, before a new low pressure system rolls in with more rain and cool temperatures for a few days. Luckily by the midle of the week the sun returns yet again with more spring weather!
On a recent hike we spotted the early flowers on the currant plants near the trail. I love these little flowers and was surprised to see them in bloom so soon.Like many other places in the world we are experiencing warmer weather...it's pleasant but disturbing. We spoke to a member of the Elwah Tribe, who were instrumental in the dam removal on the Elwah River which it is hoped, will allow the native salmon return to spawn. Now there is concern that warm temperatures in the Pacific will prevent the fish from returning. I just finished reading "The Sixth Extinction" by Elisabeth Kolbert, which was excellent, but disturbing. I am sad & worried about the obvious signs of planetary change.
Explored! Thank you for all your visit and comments.I really appreciate them.
Isn't it supposed to be spring today??? temperatures are going to feel like -24 degrees Celsius tomorrow. How lucky, winter likes us so much this year. Ok let's stop complaining and enjoy what we've got, snow, wind and freezing cold :).
This shot was taken last year at his period. It's been the same situationfor the last 3 years....Where is global warming :)
This camping site on the right is very popular in summer and fall.
When Spring Goes By
The winds that on the uplands softly lie,
Grow keener where the ice is lingering still
Where the first robin on the sheltered hill
Pipes blithely to the tune, "When Spring goes by!"
Hear him again, "Spring! Spring!" He seems to cry,
Haunting the fall of the flute-throated rill,
That keeps a gentle, constant, silver thrill,
While he is restless in his ecstasy.
Ah! the soft budding of the virginal woods,
Of the frail fruit trees by the vanishing lakes:
There's the new moon where the clear sunset floods,
A trace of dew upon the rose leaf sky;
And hark! what rapture the glad robin wakes-
"When Spring goes by; Spring! Spring! When
Spring goes by."
Duncan Campbell Scott
The weather finally broke here last weekend and as soon as that Sun stayed out the local fishermen got out to hit the local waters.
finally Spring! already the sun is coming out more, it is amazing, I actually went for a walk the other day. Can't wait for summer, so close!.
semester break next week, hopefully see the beach these holidays :)
Nothing like that warm glow to remind us of Spring! Taken at the Red Butte Gardens at the University of Utah
And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"

Palash flower tree in Bengal during spring.
Butea monosperma is a species of Butea native to tropical and sub-tropical parts of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, ranging across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and western Indonesia. Common names include Palash, Dhak, Palah, Flame of the Forest, Bastard Teak, Parrot Tree, Keshu (Punjabi) and Kesudo (Gujurati).
In West Bengal, it is associated with spring, especially through the poems and songs of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who likened its bright orange flame-like flower to fire. In Shantiniketan, where Tagore lived, this flower has become an indispensable part of the celebration of spring. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butea_monosperma)

This is the result of their love, when the Sun embraces the Earth in the Spring.
I saw these little beauties while walking to one of my classes one day, the next day I grabbed the camera and paid them a visit for an hour or two :)

I saw these flowers as I drove home today and took this with my Coolpix L110 as I drove by. I put it on zoom and got this photo...no processing or anything...just straight out of the camera. It is so good that spring has finally arrived.

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
I hope you're as happy as I am that we can greet Spring with such joy. I honestly think and feel that's why we have such difficult and cold winters - we so look forward to Spring's arrival. We surely do appreciate it, I can tell you. So as usual I bought my bunch of Tulips while doing my grocery shopping - it's a little treat I give myself. Can't think of anything better, can you?
This was taken in the late afternoon sun - there was just enough daylight left in the afternoon - so much better than artificial light. It's softer, more dramatic and so much more natural.
