A Crafty Traveler | Family and Travel Adventures

I have posted previously about spring in my neck of the woods but as today’s theme is spring I thought I’d add just one more glimpse.

This photograph says everything about spring to me, particularly the delicate colour and the blue sky behind. Spring is my favourite season – it’s a time for renewal and new beginnings, and these spring cherry blossoms are both of those to me.

Spring Quiet

Gone were but the Winter,
Come were but the Spring,
I would go to a covert
Where the birds sing.

Where in the whitethom
Singeth a thrush,
And a robin sings
In the holly-bush.

Full of fresh scents
Are the budding boughs
Arching high over
A cool green house:

Full of sweet scents,
And whispering air
Which sayeth softly:
“We spread no snare;

“Here dwell in safety,
Here dwell alone,
With a clear stream
And a mossy stone.

“Here the sun shineth
Most shadily;
Here is heard an echo
Of the far sea,
Though far off it be.”

Christina Rossetti (1847)
