Spring Equinox
Yes, today finally there is as much daylight as nighttime. We have been dreaming of this for weeks...sharing our first blossoms together, sighing that this is so slow this year. But I looked at some of the blooms around me, and found they are within a day of when they bloomed last year.
Perhaps my yearning is what has grown longer, deeper, definitely more intense.
If I were disciplined enough to walk every day, I might have actual days through the years, but these are pretty close.

As memory pics pop up on FB, I see that in some years we have been almost snow-less by now. In other years, we have had very big storms. We seem to be in the middle this year. It isn’t nice, but we aren’t getting new snow — so far.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a good thing!
DeletePretty views of the lake and blossoms! Take care, have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope you have a great weekend too!
Delete...I love the longer days.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are more time with daylight aren't they!
DeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteSuch pretty photos. The blossom is just beginning here, at least on the trees in sheltered (warmer) spots. I'm sorry to hear you're not so well and hope you soon feel much better.
ReplyDeleteThe slow or fast progression of blossoms is actually different each year, and seems to depend on temperature mostly! Not very wise, but it's the main thing I see. Climate change doesn't directly seem to make a difference here.
DeleteA lovely and flowery look back at spring blooms there.
ReplyDeleteI have been able to see some wonderful spring blossoms here in the mountains of NC.
DeleteLovely shots of the blossoms against the water.
ReplyDeleteThey do combine to make a good picture!
DeleteI love that fence. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks, happy to share the beauty with you.
DeleteBlossoms here won't come until May.
ReplyDeleteBut you will show us what you have, I hope.
DeleteBeautiful pictures.
