Daffodils (with a twist)

This photo started life as daffodil stems in a clear vase.  Given a little twist in photoshop; the result is...










And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils
William Wordsworth

Spring days




Winds of March, we welcome you,
There is work for you to do.
Work and play and blow all day,
Blow the winter cold away.

Happy St. Patrick's Day




May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
(An old Irish Blessing)

March sunset






Some days are fair,
And some are raw.
The timid earth
Decides to thaw

Winter shadows

"Look round and round upon this bare bleak plain, and see even here, upon a winter's day, how beautiful the shadows are!  Alas! it is the nature of their kind to be so.  The loveliest things in life Tom, are but shadows; and they come and go, and change and fade away, as rapidly as these!"
Charles Dickens
