Yesterday we had the most lovely snow day. The woods were simply begging us to come and explore. We had new trails to find and secret passageways and hideouts. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver There were tracks to follow. And tracks to make. Occasionally, the wind blew mini blizzards of snow around us. And then the sun returned and the sky gleamed blue. The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson There were hints of Spring. And reminders of winter. We made wonderful memories. And then, there were the snowy camellias. I got a little swept away by their color and beauty. I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. e.e. cummings ...

ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeletewhat have you got the blooming of the flower nicely mapped
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I literally got teary looking at these photos. I miss my native Atlanta so much in spring, and the dogwoods are at the top of the list of flowers that I miss. We have them here in Japan as well, but they love to tie them to stakes and straighten the trunks - just not the same as the twisty ones back home!
