Lorena was talking about spring in bloom and that beautiful shade of green that's unique to the trees and plants this time of year. Outside my balcony, we have a very large sourthern oak tree. It's leaves right now are that distinctive shade; bright, vibrant and almost electric green. They'll darken as summer comes around but for the moment, they're such a beautiful shade. So, I was inspired to snag a picture. It's small size and compression don't do it justice, but it is, at least a hint of that beautiful spring green.



It's such a beautiful color. The color of new life and new beginnings. It's one of the reasons I cherish the season changes so deeply and hold them as sacred days. Each brings about a reminder of the ever-changing and yet ever-consistant wheel of the year; of the circle of life, death and rebirth.
