peering into my solitary

tulip….oft neglected, year after year. I stopped today to actually look inside the bright red tulip. Quite pretty!

each day, a little more…

buds, blossoms, shoots, leaves, green…

Springtime…

in Portland, Oregon

blossoms…

Not soon enough…

“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Inspiration…

Nothing taken for granted these days. Here for another Springtime….

second chances…

this clematis bloomed in the Spring and is offering up some Fall blooms as well now…. I like second chances
