OH, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

From the poem Spring by Robert Frost

 

 

The Carolina Jasmine and Formosa Azalea

are from my yard.

 

The peony pictures were taken at

the Norton Art Gallery gardens.

I played around a bit in Picasa editing

on the Peony shots for fun.

 

We are still enjoying the beauty of spring

in our part of the south.

Spring Tease

A Light exists in Spring

        Not present on the Year

        At any other period —

When March is scarcely here
                                                            .......from a poem by Emily Dickinson

       This past week has been more like spring

  with temperature in the 80's on some days.

The little yellow "sweeties" and the

Carolina jasmine look like sunshine.

With the rains that came in January & February,

the lake is once again full and we have water

behind our house.

I took a few pictures to share........

a sight we have not seen in a couple of years.

Pretty reflections of the bare trees in the water.

I understand another dry summer is predicted.

Hopefully, not the drought of 2011.

I know we have more wintry weather to come,

but I love this tease of spring.



Till next time......

Carolyn
