Pasque flower


drove an hour north
nearly to Canada
to find 
some of the first spring flowers


in years past I drove over the Rocky Mountains
to be in their presence
(a longer, yet beautiful drive)



imagine the delight to see the Pasque flower
lightly scattered over the prairie like land


bathing in sunlight


 being pollinated by fury bees


rising from the earth
after a long winters sleep

the joy of flowers 
has touched the land

    That's why Spring is my favourite season - it's a synonym of life, each and every day you discover the birth of nature in a burst of colours, tender scents and marvel...
