Spring came again today. The thawing Earth
is like a child who knows her poems by heart.
–Rainer Maria Rilke, from Sonnets to Orpheus—
[Translated by David Hills]
We’ve finally had some consistently beautiful weather–sunny skies and breezy, warmer days–so yesterday I took a break from the mental work and took a photo-walk with my photographer friend, Amanda. We “found” purple tulips.
Purple tulips were my sister Lori’s favorite flower, so this experience was truly a hug from God.
Happy First Day of Spring!

Purple tulips. They are the favorite color of a woman I know who lost her brother last year and whose father was recently diagnosed with cancer. I hope ours come soon. Lovely pictures.

Thank you, Natasha! Happy to lead you to purple. I’ll be back in WW next week. I missed it again because I was getting ready for a trip. I can’t seem to bring myself to do WW on any other day. LOL!

A beauty 🌷🌷
I did some tulip sighting and photography earlier this year. Our city is not conducive (not impossible though) for tulip plantation but with loads of TLC one can grow it. They were is beautiful hues.
