Today is officially the first day of spring, and though my calendar now indicates as much, the howling winds which blew me through every alley of the city disagree. I do live in the northeast after all, so I should at least be thankful that it is not snowing. :-) Today I have a photograph for you which I almost did not take. But alas, I braved the cold and managed to put my frostbitten fingers to good use in order to setup the tripod for one last shot - which as it turns out, is now my favorite of the set.
This shot was taken near the Christian Science center in downtown Boston. In every season save winter, there is a beautiful fountain filled with water in the center of the courtyard, but today it is filled with snow. Luckily you can barely see it in the picture! Aside from that, I thought this perspective was cool, and I think the colors and tones came out pretty nice considering the time of year. I just wish the sky had more going on... maybe I'll add some clouds ;-)
Spring's beauty lies in more than its instantaneous realization. In waiting, its colors grow more vivid, its smells more potent. If spring were to arrive in an instant, that instant would mar the sensations that we cherish so much. A beautiful bloom would become just a bunch of flowers, the sublime smell of pollen would become the cause of our allergies, and perhaps worst of all, we would not get to watch the snow melt into the sunset as we revel in the landing of spring. I am a patient man, and though today may be the first day of spring, and tomorrow the next, I will wait many more until she softly touches down into my arms once again.
A balmy day today in Vancouver, at least 11C, warmer away from the water. Discovered some lovely Spring blooms on a walk at Deer Lake park in Burnaby.
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. What was really cool was seeing the rainbow disperson of white light by the optical prisms.
Spring arrives to take the chill off Venus.

Winter and spring are still having a bit of a shoving match around here...as this image suggests. Yesterday brought fog and melting snow; today brought a fresh layer of snow. I preferred the fog and the always interesting atmosphere that it produces. The approaching Jeep gave me a nice additional element to add to this atmospheric composition. Enjoy!

The daffodils are blooming everywhere you look out here! Feels a bit more like Winter this morning, but it's definitely Spring.
That's not my evaluation, that's its name (claytonia virginica). In my native wildflower garden in Webster Groves, Missouri.
I was outside looking up above our cabin, and decided to grab a shot of the clouds scuttling by. Because of the brightness - I never paid attention to the sun until I brought it up on my monitor. The natural colors that surround it could only be done by Mother Nature.
(This photo is just as it came from my camera)
I find the following poem quite fitting for my image.
Song Of March . . .
With winter's footprints in the past,
and snows begin to melt at last.
With longer days and shorter nights,
the wayward winds of March take flight.
Four winds she holds within her grip,
then hurls them from her fingertip.
Her woolly, fleecy clouds of white,
she sets in skies of blue delight.
Her wild bouts of gusty breezes
roar through valleys, hills, and trees.
That high pitch whistling song she sings
awakens earth and flowering things.
She tears a hole in heaven's sky
so sun can shine and rain can cry.
She gently calms as spring draws near,
as blooming daffodils appear.
She welcomes April showers in,
then gathers up her dwindling winds.
Now her long journey home begins,
knowing she'll be back this way,
upon a cold, late winter's day,
when nights grow short
and days grow long.
Listen for her whistling song!
