Translucent Greens of Spring
It didn't feel especially like spring yesterday, but it certainly looked the part. The season has crested on the summer side of spring, not pausing nearly long enough in that in-between state I love so much. But this morning, it is snowing sideways. We've still one foot in winter yet and are pulling smaller pieces of firewood from the dwindling pile out the back door for the woodstove. I'd thought we might be done with that, but no. I have to remember there was the spring when all the poplar leaves, by then well developed, were burned black by a late May freeze. We'll just take whatever season the day brings us.

Wow! This took my breath away.
Don't you love it when nature and your camera are cooperating with your vision?

What an absolutely gorgeous picture!..........Spring came to St. Louis last weekend (the 16th & 17th) during which I planted flowers in my butterfly garden............but Spring disappeared this past weekend as we had temps in the 30's and lots of rain........Hopefully the plants survived - am watching them and may have to replace some.........I hope to have a better butterfly season than last year when we had hailstorms in the middle of summer.........One never knows what Mother Nature has up her sleeve...........
