The springs are known for the clarity of the water, and the volume of water discharged. The springs are spiritually significant to the Māori people.
"From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything..."
William Shakespeare,Sonnet 98
Today, April 23rd we mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare at the age of 52, quite a good age in those days... born in April 1564...christened on April 26, it is quite possible that he might have been born on the 23rd as well...

Лес проснулся, потянулся и песененку запел!!!))
Славит лес Весну-царевну:
Звонко льется смех напевный
В глубине зеленой,
Над водой студеной.
Лесовик под дубом пляшет,
Свежей веткой буйно машет.
Вьются Водяницы,
Резвые сестрцы.
В волосах речные травы,
Грудь как пена, взор лукавый,-
Либо им весною
Тешится игрою!
Дед космач, седой, мохнатый,
Сел верхом на пень горбатый,
А яга-старуха
Что-то свищет глухо.
Всеми радость овладела:
В пышном блеске ночи белой
Роет царь болотный
Корень приворотный.
И колдует в тине зыбкой:
"Зачаруй, Весна, улыбкой
Все тропы лесные
И сердца людские!"
М.Пожарова
Подруга понимает с полуслова,
Смеётся и грустит вместе с тобой.
Совет хороший дать всегда готова,
С подругой можно быть просто собой.
Подруга выслушает и утешит,
С тобой разделит планы и мечты.......
Спроси - откуда знаю я всё это?
Да потому что у меня есть ТЫ!!!!!!!
День рождения нигде не купить.
Он приходит бесплатно однажды.
Он не просит заплатить,
но и в год не приходит он дважды.
Он придет - развернется спектакль,
прилетит вдруг волшебник к тебе,
чтоб спросить: ты же счастлива, не так ли?
Будь за все благодарна судьбе!
И тогда пред тобой развернется
этот звездный и Млечный путь.
И плохое уже не вернется,
про печали и грусти забудь.
Пожелаю средь звезд вечерних
самой яркой звездою быть.
Быть весной среди песен весенних,
и о счастье своем не забыть!
Happy Spring! Spring starts tomorrow or even tonight in some parts of the world. My snow crocus bloomed the other day to welcome in spring.
Sunrise ignites late spring skies over ordered boats ready for the coming summer season at Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park, Montana.
The view from this well-known shore is magnificent in any season, and it didn't disappoint for a second as I made a quick stop one morning while taking my loving parents on an early season sightseeing trip revisiting some of their (and my) most beloved glacier-sculpted landscapes in Montana and southern Canada. Beautiful places, wonderful people, and memorable times.
Thanks for viewing!
Well, not quite spring but two days prior. And not quite snow but the flower, spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum).

▶ "Leucojum vernum, called spring snowflake, is a perennial bulbous flowering plant species in the family Amaryllidaceae that includes onions and daffodils. It is native to central and southern Europe, and is considered naturalized in north-western Europe, including Great Britain and parts of Scandinavia, and in the U.S. states of Georgia and Florida. It is cultivated as a spring-flowering ornamental bulbous plant, and is naturally found in damp and shady habitats."

Sorry everyone for not being on Flickr much lately. It's been a very busy time at work, many staff on leave or sick. Now I'm on holidays, so looking forward to some R&R and time to go out photographing!! And yes, I'm slowly catching up with you all:)
I love the formation of clouds especially at sunset when you bring in all that wonderful colour. This is taken out the front of my house on a Spring Sunset Evening.
My daughter says it almost looks like a Love Heart in the sky.
The sun has already been over the horizon for a couple hours as IAIS 505 leads two brothers (including the Rock Island Heritage 513) on the South Amana to Cedar Rapids turn through the Iowa countryside south of Walford, Iowa. The hefty train is being lifted over the top of the grade, and will soon be on the roll downgrade on the last few miles towards the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City (Crandic) yard on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids. Ahead they'll drop the interchange and pick up the maximum number of cars the three GE products are rated for on this line (to the disappointment of the Cradic yardmaster who wanted to get rid of more cars...) before returning to South Amana.
While I've had a chance to photograph the Iowa Interstate a number of times, I hadn't managed to get a train on the Cedar Rapids line despite the relatively regular schedule (It seems like I always get distracted by IAIS trains on the "main line" whenever I'm in the area). But I decided to set out on this fine early spring morning with intentions of finally chasing the SACR and CRSA. Things couldn't have worked out much better; just as I arrived the southeast side of Cedar Rapids, I heard the IAIS 505 get a warrant north. This line, owned by the Crandic, has a lot of character as it winds it's way through the Iowa Countryside with just a few backroads following alongside. Track speed is just fast enough to keep things interesting but just slow enough to allow one to chase, and there's lots of neat curves and props (like the wooden bridge I'm standing on to take this shot). While it's not a gaggle of Crandic Geeps or even IAIS SD38s running through here anymore, it's still a neat line to shoot.
