"A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace."
David Steindl-Rast
Hi Everyone,
Finally, it's the first day of spring! I'll not see tulips for another month or two, but the days are warmer and the snow is melting. Here's to spring! Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

I choose this music by Portuguese singer Mariza because it has always enchanted me. it. I don't know what the words mean (sometimes that is for the best), but the sound of her voice and the arrangement captivated me upon my first hearing it.
It seemed to fit this image - flowering of the Cherry Plum Tree in spring.

I was walking around with my camera when this gentleman passed by me with more speed than this pathway can tolerate. Luckily, nothing happened to him.
This was taken Monday evening before Tuesday's snow. I've taken thousands of shots from this spot on the ninth floor and can pretty much tell you the month from where the sun is setting over the mountains. This is March :-D
I like winter, but not this winter. I'm fed-up of rain now, but its all relative - we haven't been flooded out and I can only empathise with the poor souls who have. But it's time for something brighter, a promise of something cheerful & there's nothing brighter than yellow spring flowers. This one was from last year and I was reminded of it after driving past a bankside full of primroses on the motorway recently.

About this Photo: A springtime reminder to all sharing our 32 inches of snow here in Cleveland, Ohio. This is a photo taken late last May in a fabulous peony patch in North Perry, Ohio, which is near Lake Erie in Lake County. My wife Mary spotted the patch. We almost drove past it. Glad she saw it.
It wasn't the best light, noon and bluebird day, but I thought this LE shot still turned out pretty good despite the harsh light and shadows.
Alcove Springs was a popular stop along the Oregon Trail near Independence Crossing in Marshall County, Kansas. Travelers along the trail gave the springs its name. The spring is active all year, but is also fed by a seasonal stream and waterfall.

It was such a pleasure to feel at one's fingertips
the possibilities of the new season.

Cows in spring. Looking for shade of a dead oak? Ruminating and relaxing anyway. These cows are an old Dutch breed, Blaarkoppen. (Blisterheads translated). Nederlands: Blaarkoppen op de rand van weiland en nieuwe natuur in de kop van Drenthe.
Another self-portrait :)

They are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, particularly the former sections Tsutsuji (evergreen) and Pentanthera (deciduous). Azaleas bloom in the spring (May and June in the temperate Northern Hemisphere), their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees.Azaleas are generally slow-growing and do best in well-drained acidic soil (4.5–6.0 pH). Fertilizer needs are low. Some species need regular pruning. Azaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern US, southern Asia, and parts of southwest Europe. In addition to being renowned for its beauty, the azalea is also highly toxic—it contains andromedotoxins in both its leaves and nectar, including honey from the nectar. 4454
