No editing except cropping and then a thin scarlet border. The title is referring to the spring like subject of the garden flag (hummingbirds on flowers) vs. the surrounding snow.
At the southern end of the photo-walk path I generally follow with the dogs along the Mojave riverbed stands a great scattered grove of Joshua trees spread beneath a string of electrical transmission towers running east and west across the riverbed. The juxtaposition of the ancient trees and the modern towers is a bit uncanny—the Joshuas, denizens of the desert for 25,000 years, their irregular branches reaching eternally skyward, contrasted with the unwavering lines of the towers and wires, carrying the electricity upon which so much of our 21st-century life depends.

"Outstanding Universal Value
"Brief synthesis
"Located in the Occitanie region, the Pont du Gard is the major element of a 50.02 km aqueduct built in the middle of the 1st century to supply the city of Nîmes, the ancient Roman colony of Nemausus, from the Eure source located near Uzès. A three-storey aqueduct bridge rising to nearly 48.77 m, it enabled the water conduit to cross the Gardon River.
"This triple bridge, whose longest floor, at the very top of the edifice, measured 360 m, is a feat and a masterpiece of Roman architectural technique, but also a work of art whose presence transfigures the landscape. Set in a natural site that enhances its imposing appearance and its lines of force, the Pont du Gard rests on a rocky base, notched by the river spanned by its major arch. The gentle and symmetrical tapering of the arches, the span of the lower arches and the regularity of the upper gallery give it an extraordinarily airy appearance for a work of such magnitude.
"The Pont du Gard is an outstanding example of bridges built in ancient times. It achieves a triple performance with its three levels of arches of unequal dimensions and is characterized by the use, for the construction of the arches of the lower levels, of juxtaposed rollers composed of voussoirs bearing engraved positioning marks. In the series of Roman aqueducts, this exceptional edifice is the result of an extensive adaptation to the river regime of the Gardon whose floods are sudden and devastating. The lips installed in front of the piers are designed to resist high water, and the opening of the principal lower arch (24.52 m instead of 21.87 m for the arches of the extremes) facilitates the flow of water.
"Built, on the first two levels, of large stone blocks and, at the upper level, of small stone rubble which hold the abutting flagstones of the canal, the Pont du Gard is one of the most revealing monuments as to the construction processes of the early Imperial era.

juxtaposition (jŭk″stə-pə-zĭsh′ən)
1.) The act of juxtaposing, or the state of being juxtaposed; the act of placing or the state of being placed in nearness or contiguity.
2.) The extra emphasis given to a comparison when the contrasted objects are close together.
Juxtaposition is often done in order to compare/contrast two elements, to show similarities or differences, etc. In this instance, the 'elements' are placed on top of each other...the out-of-focus lights of cars & traffic lights ahead and the focused raindrops on the window...a comparison of the differences between the two with a shallow depth of field.
