Spring 2012

[Rollo]

It's been quite interesting Winter with many twists and turns. But what to expect in this year Spring. It's hard to predict anything beside the fact that we are moving fast.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

...As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.

"The East-Wind withdrew to Aurora and the Nabathean kingdom,

And the Persian, and the ridges placed under the morning rays.

Man was born. Whether that Artificer of things,

The origin of a better world, made him from the divine seed;

Or the earth, being recent and lately sundered from the high

Ether, retained some seeds of cognate heaven."

"The Golden Age was first created, which without any avenger

Spontaneously without law cherished fidelity and rectitude.

Punishment and fear were not; nor were threatening words read

On suspended brass; nor did the suppliant crowd fear

The words of their judge; but were safe without an avenger.

Not yet the pine felled on its mountains had descended

To the liquid waves that it might see a foreign world,

And mortals knew no shores but their own.

There was eternal spring, and placid zephyrs with warm

Blasts soothed the flowers born without seed."


I took a picture this morning. Ahh, beautiful Spring!

Here is the first drop of spring up my way. How will it continue to flow through 2012, who knows ..

[Wind]

It sure feels like that the spring has already arrived. Winter was cold as hell.

I couldn't resist when I saw like light was dancing in the garden. New picture taken this morning.
