Part of this was originally going to be part of a resurrection scene (for Easter) but instead I turned it into this.
While winter was fairly dry and disappointing, Spring did bring a heavy and much needed blanket of snow to the area ...

......dawn light was strong as it bounced off the clouds turning new spring growth golden. It looked stunning against the heavy grey sky but was fleeting as the clouds won the battle of the morn.
February as I write this - what lovely light will be with us in just a few weeks!
Perhaps because of its strongly reflexed petals, this seemed by far the daintiest out of a mixed bag of dwarf daffodils...
A very simple image with the tree shadows casting patterns across the new spring grass and daisies. My Mum always used to tell me that if you could put your foot on 9 daisies at once then spring was here, so fairly certain from that it is here! A nice image to remember her by today - 9 years today since she passed away.

"And the Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its
wintry rest."

Tiny Goldthread flower cluster on the forest floor.
Common early spring flower. Fragile. Lasts about 3 days, then wait until next year for a frash showing.

A beautiful spring day in a secret garden. This place was at least secret to me. I was wandering the BYU campus admiring the spring colors when I discovered this spot inside the Museum of Art courtyard. The timing and light were just right and the trees were in full blossom. The tree on the left is dropping a pink carpet on the grass. Magical for sure.

Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh, why should I have Spring fever

Thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images and hope everyone's having a good week.
I love Vegas, but there are three things I miss most about Cincinnati, old friends, Madtree IPA, and the spring blooms at Cincinnati Zoo (and Cincinnati Zoo in general). In case anyone is interested, my latest blog is the weekly feature on Innovation Excellence,
