This has been a hellish week for the poor crocuses - warm enough to pop up, and then a crushing twenty five degree temperature drop to start the weekend, followed by snow overnight last night. For perseverance alone they deserve a medal. Despite the grim setting of wet snow their hardiness is a shot in the arm in these challenging times. To say nothing of the sad early tulip leaf trying to get in on the action.

I took advantage of the reflections of rhododendrons and trees in one of my windows.

The window helped to create this impressionist like photo.

For the Pictorialism assignment.

Find me peace in the quiet

In the melody of a birds song

Give me that tranquility of the morning

And make it last all day long.

Play me Springtimes Requiem

Play out for all to hear

Let it reach my soul

So I know

You are here . . .

Springtime

A photo to help cool off my family and friends on this first official day of summer. Many of whom live in the lower 48 states and have already had temperatures reaching into the high eighties!

(We are predicted to reach a high of 67 degrees Fahrenheit today. Much more to my liking.)

Wishing everyone a happy solstice.
