Happy First Day of Spring!

“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”…

“It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

―Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden  

I love the book above!

I also love the camellia’s Nana’s holding below ~ this was taken last spring. It looks like she’s offering you something yummy to eat. Whenever I’m around my grandmother Nana, I notice nature even more. Here’s a Nana-Naturey-post from last year that always brings back fond memories whenever I see those images.

“What a strange thing!

to be alive

beneath cherry blossoms.” ― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

 

So I’ll be taking some new images of  blossoms soon I’m sure, but in the mean time I’m enjoying the sunshine as much as I can before it goes away. Atlanta weather is very moody and I never know what to expect.

Happy First Day of Spring!

“And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind”
(Quran 22:5).
