Ten thousand flowers in the spring, the moon
in autumn,
A cool breeze in summer, snow in winter —
If your mind is not clouded by unnecessary
things,
this is the best season of your life.~ Chinese poem
Color me spring

Robin welcoming spring on a foggy morning.
Spring officially begins at 1:14am on March 20th. The average high temperature here in the Bogs at this time of year is usually 48 degrees (F).
That was unexpected

According to the weather report this morning, it was supposed to be cloudy and in the upper 30s today with a slight chance of rain showers this afternoon. I’d say somebody was mistaken.

#1: Enjoy a cup of tea. Really enjoy it. Watch the steam curl and rise. Place my hands around the cup and feel the warmth. Notice the color of the tea. Breathe in the scent, the warmth, the moisture. Feel the liquid warmth on my tongue and sliding down my throat and into my stomach, the heat radiating throughout.
Savor the flavor.
Give thanks.

Bluebird
I’ve been taking breaks from the camera. A day here, two days there, that sort of thing. It’s been nice. The breaks leave me with no new photos to sort through, and the time to look over the photos from the past few months that I’ve ignored. In between the breaks, I’ve shot a few photos from the windows of the house, including the bluebird pictured above. Isn’t he pretty? It’s not a great shot, but it was the best I could do given the distance and the glass between me and the bird. Bluebirds can be quite skittish. They would fly away if I tried to open the door to take a couple of photos.
Leaves

How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

If all has gone as planned, M and I should be in New Jersey by the time this post goes out. Hopefully I’ll have time and internet access to do some live and in person blogging tomorrow.
