The Last Day of March

Just in time to wish you a very Happy Easter!

I really hope that you've had a beautiful day.

The catkins are dancing in the breeze, blossom is showing us fluffy flowers

against a blue sky.

Daffodils are still blooming

Dark chocolate Easter bunnies have been nibbled

and Honey Cat is happy just to enjoy life and the sunshine on my balcony!

Some tender pink blossom bringing us joy

Stretching flowery boughs up to the blue of the sky.

Cheery daffodils all in a row

and yellow Forsythia after the rain.

The first butterfly of the season

enjoying the blossom.

One day this past week, I went down to the lake and walked along

a pathway lined with flowering Magnolia trees.

It had rained quite heavily the day before.

Despite the residual clouds, it was much warmer and there was fresh snow

on the mountain peaks.

I sat on a bench contemplating this view and treated myself

to a vanilla ice-cream on a stick, covered in dark chocolate!

Sometimes, you just have to do what you fancy, don't you?!

I hope these pictures and words find you in good spirits and enjoying

the good things that come your way.

See you sometime in April with more spring images.

In the meantime,

"Don't wait, love your life right now!"

Spring Unfolds

Golden daffodils with orange trumpets

unfold their sunshine petals

for all to see

Wild anemone raise their heads above last year's fallen leaves

Primroses, tender violets and a single daisy

draw our attention to the shady spots

and fluffy blossom trees line the streets

Down by the lake,

the early magnolia bloom

framed by nurturing branches and a perfect clear March sky

Closer to home,

Easter is being celebrated

with traditional hot cross buns

and the yellow duckling guards the baskets of tiny truffle filled eggs...

but not for too long, methinks!

Feathers

Tiny eggs in a nest of feathers

Graceful

and sweeping

in an explosion of joy

and delicacy

with a message for your day!
