colors!

spring

comes

without warning

unfurling hues

of willow celadon

and shamrock jade

flutters

on soft wings

at dawnlight

airbrushing the valley

with apple pink

hyacinth amethyst

and heady white

orange blossoms

mists

new leaf with dew

caressing rain

carefully undoing

winter's cover

wakening

sleeping passions

bows

earth's heartstrings

softly playing

hummingbird minuets

and  moves on

the daffs, freesias and grape hyacinth have since stopped blooming. i planted different bulbs which  flower at different times.

the roses are hot cocoa, mom's rose, scentimental, and betty boop.on the background are volunteer calendulas as well as key lime, cancan orange trees.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !
