Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



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.

  4. 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.
