    A Gibran saying is as brilliant as the flowers you have pictured here, Sylvia! Thanks for sharing memories of the spring we wait for … not only through pictures and words but also with a lovely melancholy tune.

    Beautiful and joyous spring captures, Sylvia. I'm so glad you have them to back upon even if it is gray and cold right now.
    Your cold must be moving downward: today the temps dropped considerably with the ensuing rain and gray. Have a wonderful week!

    Oh man Sylvia, you have me in a Springier state of mind even though it has turned cold and windy here today.

    I love the flowers and the quote by Will Rogers about cleaner minds and dirtier fingernails.

    Reminds of the office quip that a clean desk is a sign of a dirty mind.

    If that is so then I've got the cleanest mind in the world.

    Take Care Sylvia.

    Beautiful images of what is to come. Spring has been trying to arrive here, the tulips were almost in bloom but the rabbits nipped off that idea.

    After all the snow I'm sure the spring colour will be great. In a normal (hot) summer we get the same impact in autumn - the summer burns away the colour and as the temperature falls, back comes the colour.
    Same effect - different process!

    Fantastic; spring is so generous with its display of flowers.Big swathes hanging over fences, climbing up;
    Tulips stretching their elegant faces into the sun, soaking up the warmth. Very pretty. Followed by interesting quotes. I have read Soren Kierkegard, 35 years ago, he was light years ahead.

    Spring is sprung already here! My favorite is the first one for its flowering quietly by the rock and for its bluish white color.

    Beautiful pictures -- had to go back and check to see that it was not this year yet -- wondered if Seattle could be that different from what I hear from Eugene.

    Spring is on the way tho I'm sure.
