A cup of violets
Posted on 30. Mar, 2010 by maryanne in Nature, Personal, The Latest
Another busy week in my world. Most of it spent at the computer, quoting jobs and processing photos. Then, out of nowhere, comes today. Sunshine and flowers everywhere. It was like a dear friend coming up from behind and putting their hands over my eyes, saying “guess who?”. Spring, that’s who. The cherry trees are in full bloom, the sky is a bit more blue, and the sheep have little lambs in the pasture next door. Then, there are the violets. I love violets, even though they tend to grow where I don’t want them. They remind me of my childhood and every Spring from then on. When Johnny and I came home from lunch, I saw them. The ground was covered in them. I had several things to do, but knew instinctively they would all have to wait. So, I played all afternoon. In the violets.
It was like playing hooky on a school day. I picked them, arranged them in beautiful china cups and gazed at them through my different lenses. Guess who? Spring, that’s who. Welcome home sweet friend. Here are some images from the day. I found some other sweet visitors as well.

Magic . . . I love what your eye sees.
If your soul could be be captured in a photo it would probably be violets in coffee cup in the sunshine.

I’ve said it before, but looking at your nature images is like instant therapy. It’s so calm… beautiful… refreshing… vibrant. You should post at least 1 nature or animal picture a day!
