Spring Arrives

Last Saturday was perfect. Spring temps and a bright sun against the blue freshness of the sky cleansed from by rain. I headed to Whitewater State Park for my first outdoor visit of the season. Spring was everywhere.

Look down.....

It wasn't difficult to find some early buds- as long as you know where to look.

Looking up was just as productive.....

~ Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~
Robin Williams

Along the Whitewater River the green of the grasses
stood out with an explosive presence.

~ Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes,
and the grass grows by itself ~
Zen Proverb

Perhaps nothing pointed to spring than the river itself
as green framed the banks and
reached into the blue in that early pastel of the trees.

~ Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. ~
Rainer Maria Rilke
