I ran 15km today. My farthest distance in a year at least. My body hurts a great deal. I feel old.

One of the meanings of yellow flowers is associated with friendship. In addition, this color also symbolizes the joy of life, optimism and energy. Therefore, it is a perfect gift for those who are a little down
Several plants, including a red maple, have colonized this boulder surrounded by the water of a New Hampshire pond, perhaps 50 feet from the shore. I'm afraid their future is not rosy, but I will come back next year to see how they are doing.

Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.
[Ambrose Bierce]
Clem brought his daughter, Lucy, to work with him. She had never ridden in a train engine before let alone driven one. Pretty big day for a four year old. Too bad Clem suffered a heart attack and hadn't bothered showing Lucy how to stop the train!

Kern County, California 2013
The month of May fills me with a sense of hope and optimism. The landscape is filled with new growth, blossoms, and the trees leafing out. The bare trees that punctuated my yard for the past several months have now filled in. The effect is one of being closed in as the distant views through the woodland are now just a monolith of foliage. Always takes a week or so to adjust to this feeling of being cloistered. Soon enough my mind simply accepts it as normal, and I cruise merrily along until late autumn when my senses are once again jolted when the trees are laid bare.
Anyway back to my seasonal optimism, the pinnacle of which is planting the garden. Truly a labor of love, cultivating the planting beds and nurturing seeds to the point at which I set them into the ground. The oneness with nature and the good feelings of initiating growth are overwhelming. Yet even in the midst of this my mind often wanders to the end of the planting season. I get stark visualizations of the plants all withering and me there yanking them unceremoniously out of the ground. I get about three good months out of this if I'm lucky before it all slips away. I know then I will look back to now, a relatively short time in weeks, but a vast gulf my life. Have to force myself at times to just stay in the moment.
Mother Nature gave us a brief taste of Spring recently, with bright sunshine, blue sky, and warm temperatures. It was a glorious day to get outside. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Best viewed large.
Wishing all a great week ahead from the Florida Keys

The invasive buckthorn plant are prolific in parts of Mary Cummings Park in Burlington.
The plant winds itself around native trees as it searches for sunlight. The weight of the buckthorn pulls its host down. In this section of the park, the buckthorn has formed a tunnel as plants from either side of the path have merged in the canopy.
Not sure how many, if any, springs I get to see but I'm really grateful for the one that is currently around me...giving me bits of hope and optimism.
