Electric crocuses
Spring drew on… and a greenness grew over those brown [garden] beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.
~ Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

I had a Sunday signage post all planned for today, but after taking my walk this morning I decided to take you back to the woods with me. It’s so beautiful back there, especially now that the seasonal light is changing just a tad.
