The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.
- Mark Twain
Spring would not be spring without bird songs. - Francis M. Chapman
Keep your faith in all beautiful things;
in the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when it is gone. - Roy R. Gilson
April's rare capricious loveliness. - Julia Dorr
So much to learn
from
nature's plans;
The straight,
makes
the curved
look curvier,
young sepals
in light green
against
the tough looking
dark branches;
A profusion
of white blossoms,
interrupted
just so,
by
stamens
dotted with black,
on a
background splash
of
a tentative green;
And the sky,
brilliant
in its blueness
behind a human
drab building
of the colorless type.
When will we learn,
that differences
unite us,
enriching the scene,
and all the colors
have a stake in each other....?

Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise! - Wallace Stevens
I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.

Every picture is lovely! I love your title photo too. Beautiful spring. If it's a silly dance, I love every step of it.
The Lily's are just gorgeous. I love them. :) All of these are wonderful :)
You did get some lovelt photos this morning. And of course, I do always greet spring in the garden.
These are great pictures and so were the ones from the My World post. Thanks for the understanding comment on mine. Right now my kids are struggling with what to be when they grow up, it must be nice to see your kids settled in.

Another wonderful post, Sylvia! I enjoy all the fine pictures, very good the quote by Roy R. Gilson.
I hope you had a Happy Easter!
Such sweet photos, all of them. I love the last one - sunset or sunrise? Either way, I'd love to see just one this week. :)

I hope you had a good easter.
Ann, the white dots are tiny wild flowers.
