In Springtime
"My garden blazes brightly with the rose-bush and the peach,
And the koil sings above it, in the siris by the well,
From the creeper-covered trellis comes the squirrel's chattering speech,
And the blue jay screams and flutters where the cheery sat-bhai dwell.
But the rose has lost its fragrance, and the koil's note is strange;
I am sick of endless sunshine, sick of blossom-burdened bough.
Give me back the leafless woodlands where the winds of Springtime range --
Give me back one day in England, for it's Spring in England now!
Through the pines the gusts are booming, o'er the brown fields blowing chill,
From the furrow of the ploughshare streams the fragrance of the loam,
And the hawk nests on the cliffside and the jackdaw in the hill,
And my heart is back in England 'mid the sights and sounds of Home.
But the garland of the sacrifice this wealth of rose and peach is,
Ah! koil, little koil, singing on the siris bough,
In my ears the knell of exile your ceaseless bell like speech is --
Can you tell me aught of England or of Spring in England now?"
~ Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936 ~
* koil -- Then Indian bell-bird. I wonder if this is the koel, that I know.
sat-bhai -- Indian starlings.
Though I miss India, I am really enjoying the unfolding Spring in the UK so the poem has echoes of how I felt as I missed the British seasons. This was taken for an out-of-camera challenge for the S5 group (ie. no post processing whatsoever)

Here are some springtime blossoms while out with the dog. Finally beginning to actually look like Spring!
I have not taken many pictures of Dragonflies yet with the new camera. Just playing with Lightroom and shadows. Almost took out the leaf at the bottom but decided to keep it in the picture.
