Joy

This morning the snow was falling again - blowing and whipping around in the icy gusts of wind - and I wondered if Winter will ever take a break and let Spring take center stage.

As I look out my window now, the stormy winds have died down to a gentle breeze and a warm sun is shining.

Perhaps Nature pulled an April's fools joke this morning?

Today I am finding joy in the bright sunlight and a few spring flowers :)













Both images were textured with Kim Klassen's Aurora texture
Enjoy your day!
Be Wonderfully Odd!

    Nothing says 'spring' like hyacinths! And I love that Aurora texture here. It's one of my favorites.

    Grape Hyacinths are such sweet flowers! I love these, and the hazy texture you've added. I hope winter decides to find a new resting place, soon!

    Lovely! Thank you for the quote, I needed to be reminded of that today. I can't believe you had snow yesterday! I think it was an April Fools joke from mother nature, I didn't know she had a sense of humor. :)

    Love the perspective you chose for these spring blossoms. The simplicity in the first shot is gorgeous. And, yes, we all should choose JOY!
