why i love spring: metaphors for rebirth literally growing on trees; the mascot for lightness of being zooming past my head each time i walk out my door; the spiraling of life curling outward into the light; and oh, the light!
rainbow flash!
perhaps inspired by spring, my husband and i are purposefully taking brisk walks, and some slower but longer walks… on the beach!
so nice to catch a sunset on the beach!
lightness, light, and pink blossoms!
baby pink: i am having fun being a nana.
petal pink
red: this rufous male has been showing off quite a range of colors! he is pictured multiple times throughout the post.
red-orange!
orange: moths and bumblebees fluttering in the flowers.
orange: this was amazing to witness! hungry robin (with rusty orange breast) yanking on a worm!
orange: flashy face with backlit tail feathers.
yellow: skunk cabbage in bloom
yellow: angled to shimmer like gold…
green: and emeralds!
green: dusty rose fairy gown columbine foliage emerging!
green: skunk cabbage after a spring rain
green: trilliums! we are amazed at how early these have bloomed this year!
green: i think i am somewhat related to plants in that i only start to feel alive again this time of year. grateful for the light activating my chlorophyll!
green: even the trout lilies are up! depending on how you tilt your head, you can see their curled leaves as spiral heart tunnels.
green: trout lilies almost ready to bloom!
blue: i spied the first forget-me-nots yesterday!
blue: i also witnessed a bald eagle flying overhead stealthily, because i just happened to be looking up.
purple: this young anna’s male has a striking plum color to his plumage.
purple: and perhaps a little candy pink mixed in for good measure?
tan: sand like dragon scales. love the texture!
brown: dahlia spiral memory; in addition to the benign neglect creating habitat for beneficial insects, it provides a frequent perch for the hummingbirds.
white: spring rebirth inspiring me to dust off my heart-shaped lens to look upon this beautiful world!

Exhale. I love your spring pictures. Thank you for sharing them with me. I definitely miss the familiarity of the coast this time of year. It’s harder to find little spots of beauty around here. I’m still not sure where to look for it.
Eek. Baby toes!!
Glad to read your words and see your beautiful photos….the post really gives the feeling that your cup is running over. Which makes me feel like I’m looking through a heart-shaped lens, myself!
by the way, how far away is baby(!!!!) & family from you, nana? (NANA!!!!)
Wow, im late to the comment party, this time. I love the spring rainbows…all the hummers!!! It has been a feeding frenzy at our house with the fun little birds and it’s awesome to watch! I think i enjoy the seasons a little more when i look through your eyes (photos)!!!
