The Spring
BY THOMAS CAREW
"Now that the winter's gone, the earth hath lost
Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost
Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream
Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;
But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,
And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth
To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree
The drowsy cuckoo, and the humble-bee.
Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring
In triumph to the world the youthful Spring.
The valleys, hills, and woods in rich array
Welcome the coming of the long'd-for May.
Now all things smile, only my love doth lour;
Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power
To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold
Her heart congeal'd, and makes her pity cold.
The ox, which lately did for shelter fly
Into the stall, doth now securely lie
In open fields; and love no more is made
By the fireside, but in the cooler shade
Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep
Under a sycamore, and all things keep
Time with the season; only she doth carry
June in her eyes, in her heart January."
Chapter 2: Spring for this year's 52 week project. I will also add it to ODC for the challenge transparent.
With Spring coming soon I thought it a good idea to make a second jewelled egg with a Spring theme. I wanted this egg to be similar in style to the first jewelled egg called ‘Love’.
This egg is made of emerald bricks decorated with silver lines, polished silver ornaments and a shiny gem on top. The egg is placed upon a small pedestal of silver in the shape of paws. Like the first jewelled egg there is a surprise inside: a chicken and an Easter bunny!
Now, let the Spring season begin!
More from my visit to VanDusen Garden on February 15th.
These are called Spring Snowflake, I presume a type of snowdrop but I haven't confirmed it.

Flickr Lounge: everything spring
The wildflowers were abundant in some areas two or three days ago, so when I saw frost this morning, I ran an errand my husband intended to run just to get use of the car and get to the wildflowers as quickly as possible--especially these Virginia bluebell buds. In some instances, the frost was still heavy, and in some spots it had melted into fine waterdrops. In both instances it was lovely.
Last fall was the first time (since we have lived in southern Indiana) that wildflowers had completely stopped blooming before we had our first frost. But this spring the wildflowers got an early start, and so they're a little bit farther into the blooming cycle than they'd typically be the end of March.
I'm looking for my shot of a sunflower. But these keeps showing up on my screen :)
I always know its spring whenever I see this tree's flowers from my uncle's study room <3

What to do on a sunny day? Don't ask that to a photographer, because they are going to tell you find a location and take tons of photos!
I did that today, the day was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, nice and fresh for walking, daffodils, tulips and crocuses are in full bloom, the trees are finally putting on a show, and I want to share with you all something from this day...
Mother nature, you are awesome, this one is for you...

Nature inspired me to become a photographer. I specially love trees, birds and flowers, but there is so much to see, enjoy and capture during a long hiking trip, a lake, a conservation area, forest or park, the list of places is very long!
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen, in different ways. I use Photoshop to do these transformations, and I also my own photos to create textures.

At the moment winter is winning in my garden but I am hoping spring will get the upper hand next week.

Walking the valley of Spring
With only the blue sky above
The thunder of greens and blues
Rain if you want, I have holes in my shoes.
As life starts anew
With fragments of last year kiss
Hoping for better days
You I will always miss.

Earlier this week, I posted a shot of two Dartmoor Pony foals. Not long after I took that shot, the two foals took off, galloping around the moor in circles. It was a wonderful sight, and they were obviously enjoying the spring sunshine.
It seems the wait for Spring this year has been unbearably long, which makes this view of spring daffodils that much more sweet. The bee flying into the scene was just an added, lucky surprise. Once again, Happy Easter and a very enthusiastic welcome to Spring! www.troymarcyphotography.com
I took this picture of a bumblebee last year in Brussels close to the famous Atmomium.
I hope, you like that photograph! :)
I think that in mid-May this herb - chamomile (Matricaria recutita) - attracts various interesting insects. Some of them let me photograph them as they enjoy the pollen that this little plant provides them. Another small wild bee. Probably it looks a huge bee, but it is really small : )
Spring wild flowers are starting to bloom here in Southeast Texas, although most of the blooms pictured here show up much later in the year.

Yosemite Valley, Yosemite, California
The Merced River, swollen with spring meltwater, rushes through a relatively narrow defile on its way out of Yosemite Valley. Most of the boulders lining the stream bed originated in rockfalls, chunks of granite peeling off the valley walls and tumbling to the floor below.
