The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Mark Twain

woohooo !!! Explore highest #44 !!! thanks everyone !!!

 

it's been a long cold winter...

But it's now that time of the year again...

When fallen leaves give way to blossums...

When blue skies replace gray clouds...

When the breeze blows warm...

It's that time of the year to soak up the sun again !

Hello sunshine !

:)

    

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. Henry David Thoreau

 

We Only Have Forever (Quiet) Β· Lights & Motion

If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special,' you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth. Neil deGrasse Tyson

 

ODC, Portrait From Behind and Optimism

 

We woke up to blue skies, birds tweeting and temperatures above 0 Celsius today; it's amazing what a mood lifter and energy enhancer the promise of Spring is!

P.S. Either my lens was dusty or my sensor needs attention, but what's done is done and I still like this twofer.

These are just a couple of the frisky horses who we saw on Monday. They had definitely been hit with the luurv stick:-)

 

Female is the grey. How do I know? Let's just say I photoshop the male to save all our blushes - lol

When I hear that old song they used to play

 

Listening to that right now. This song reminds me so much of summer. Since the weather has been freakin gorgeous it really feels like summer sometimes. I'm LOVING it!!

 

I took this on Tues- I haven't taken a SP in awhile and I wanted to say hey to everyone (if anyone even comes on my stream anymore).

 

Life has been pretty good lately- I have been hanging out with my friends a lot, but also going to the library like it's my second home. Lots of work to do since the semester is winding down. I can't believe I am almost done my sophmore year. It really has been going by so fast.

 

Me and Amber are living together next year in our own place on Jackson St. It should be SO nice because A) we are good friends B) it is only us 2 C) Own rooms D) BIG basement for parties :) We keep saying that college is REALLY going to start next year. So far it's been a pretty awesome ride so I can't wait to see what's gonna happen the next year or 2 living there :)

 

Anyways, that is my life. Oh and this shirt is fairly new and I wore it for the first time Tues. and that's when I was like "Hm... Sp? YES" I got it when I was in Florida.

 

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely spring and ready for summer since it's right around the corner!!

 

200209: The water was pushed out of the fjord because of the wind, and the beach had a great structure! We had hoped to see more kiters on the water in Laboe because of the southeast wind, but maybe the storm was too strong for them. The seagulls were happy about the storm, many shells were washed ashore. What else? The snowdrops and crocuses are already in bloom, and the hazelnut blossom has also begun.

200209: Das Wasser wurde wegen des Windes aus der FΓΆrde gedrΓΌckt, und der Strand hatte eine tolle Struktur! Wir hatten wegen des SΓΌdostwindes eigentlich mit mehr Kitern auf dem Wasser in Laboe gehofft, aber vielleicht war denen der Sturm zu krass. Die MΓΆwen freuten sich ΓΌber den Sturm, es wurden viele Muscheln an Land gespΓΌlt. Was noch? Die SchneeglΓΆckchen und die Krokusse blΓΌhen schon, ebenso hat die HaselnussblΓΌte begonnen.

Significance

 

Snowdrops symbolize new beginnings and hope because they typically bloom at the end of Winter and announce the approach of Spring. Growing close to the ground, they also represent death. Picking snowdrops and bringing them inside is considered unlucky.

 

Identification

 

Snowdrops' bell-shaped petals arch downwards, facing the ground, so the highest part of the plant is its stem. Some snowdrop varieties have green markings on the white petals.

These bushes in my front yard are starting to bud again - I think the yellow and green look nice together...
