If we stop and listen, just observe... our awareness grows.
"I am going to try to pay attention to the spring.
I am going to look around at all the flowers,
and look up at the hectic trees.
I am going to close my eyes and listen."
~Anne Lamott
My Video "Spring is on the Way": Enjoy my captures of melting snow water, peaceful ducks, busy tilt bird and bee, first buds and flowers charm and the feeling of spring in the air!
When it seems like winter will never lose its icy grip, the dainty goblet-shaped crocus pushes through the snow to put on a show of colorful revival.
From snow crocuses (the first to bloom) to giant Dutch crocuses, all just 2 to 4 inches tall, these blooms offer a variety in color (pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, purples, blues, and more) that stand out against the bleak late-winter landscape.
Many have strong perfumes that lure bees out of their hives in February or March.
My New Video "The Crocus Flowers - Colorful Revival after Winter (HD):
Small bulbs like crocus not only provide winter garden
color, but they naturalize, meaning that they spread and come back year after
year—
with minimum care—for an ever-larger display.
As a bonus, deer, squirrels, and rabbits rarely bother early
little bulbs.
Another Video about busy bees in teamwork on a Spring morning:
If you are not planting this
perennial bulb, you are missing an early season of delight.
The simplicity of winter has a deep moral. The return of
Nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, to habits so simple
and austere, is not lost either upon the head or the heart. It is the
philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine to a cup of water and a
crust of bread.
~John Burroughs "The Snow-Walkers"
