Very Early Spring


"..Now the sun walks in the forest,
He touches the bows and stems with his golden fingers;
They shiver, and wake from slumber.
Photobucket
Over the barren branches he shakes his yellow curls.
Yet is the forest full of the sound of tears....
A wind dances over the fields.
Photobucket
Shrill and clear the sound of her waking laughter,
Yet the little blue lakes tremble
And the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver."

  9. Thank you for sharing your really sweet little nature scenes! Your root children are so sweetly simple. Or simply sweet!

    We're in southern NC, and Spring has been here for 2 weeks. :) The redbuds are in full bloom, and the dogwoods are a week away from putting on their show.

  10. So much beauty and charm in your photographs. I love seeing pictures of your home...it is such an inspiration for me. We are in the midst of changing from a small apt to a home with a garden, where we will hopefully move this summer. I always come away with good ideas to store in mind.
