Happy, Glorious Springtime

The naked earth is warm with Spring,

And with green grass and bursting trees

Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,

And quivers in the sunny breeze.

~ Julian Grenfell ~

Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment. ~ Ellis Peters ~

And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant" ~

These images were all created using my Sony 30mm f/2.8 macro lens in manual focus, with a great deal of love for nature's supreme statement ~ spring flowers! :) 

Happy spring, my friends!!
