Description
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
“It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.”
John Galsworthy
The first crocus of this Spring, 2013! They opened with such exuberant joy....during a few hours of adoring sunshine!

Thank you so much Clotilde! These flowers come in the most amazing variety of colors and even some variation of shape as well. They have such "personality" and for me, always a welcome sign that Spring is here!

These crocuses are insanely pretty!! Your capture is way better than the one I attempted of similar ones, oh well. Excellent work! v :)

Thank you so much Patricia. I took dozens and dozens of shots and only had a few that I was happy with...mostly because there was so little sunshine on the days I was shooting!!

Both are lucky...I have severe reactions to insects and have a gardener do it and of course is not the same. :-(

The first smiles of Spring! So lovely to see them...and even we still have snow...I can see crocuses growing in my garden too...love the delicate lines on these..and that rich yellow in their centres makes them pop up so beautifully! Love this Rory! The Spring is in the air..and in our hearts...again! f/v
