 departure

 

 

white peaks melting view

early spring's tinged breast of snow

melancholy leaves

This piece really inspires mental images that remind me of when I was a kid living in Albuquerque, New Mexico near the base of Sandia Crest ... The view was breath taking even for a kid ...

And a new start with spring. I've always thought of season's as metaphors for life.

Nice one.

Winter wanes and although the flowers of spring start to peek out, there are sad thoughts that will not melt like the snow. Poignant. Lydi**

Strangely enough the sun was shining this morning.
And if my calculations are correct. My deckchair which blew away in November, should only be 4.2 miles away. Happy days.

I saw some daffodils on the way to the subway last week and then it snowed some over the weekend, hope they survived... but for that brief moment I was smiling and thinking it won't be long before it starts to get warmer... YEA!!!!
