The flowers were bright.
They were pink.
They were beautiful.
And
they sang a song of spring, of life;
a song she hadn’t heard for so long
in the throes of wintertime.
I was nominated for the 5 day photo challenge by Amy from Snapshots, Snippets and Scribbles. This challenge requires me to post one photo each day for five days, and to share a story along with each photo. The challenge also asks to nominate a new person each day to participate, but I have chosen to opt out of that part.
It's a Britta Bottle! 
Lovely!!

Spring! That’s a song I can’t wait to hear. I’m sitting at my desk and my usual view of the lake is totally obscured by 4-5′ of snow. Not snow that’s been shovelled in a pile, actual accumulated fallen snow.

I can’t wait to hear it again, either. These flowers were a lovely surprise in Seattle, but they’re not yet out where I live. It’s not snowy now, but we’ll probably get more before spring arrives for good. Winter can’t last forever (even though it fees like it sometimes). 🙂

This year it sure feels like it’s going to last forever…. 😦

In my experience, winter always feels like it’s going to last forever…until suddenly it’s gone. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later this year (it’s not snowy now here and we actually had a beautifully sunny day today, but I hear more snow is supposed to come in the next week). 😦

Lovely capture of my favorite spring flower. Their song is but a memory as we enter Fall in New Zealand.

Ah, thank you Lisa. The flowers aren’t bloomed yet here where I live, so it was a nice surprise to come across them on my trip.

I guess it is early days Minnesota – when will they start singing there? In.May?

Probably closer to May. Last year, I had left school for summer (so, around early May) and the flowers still weren’t singing! It does depend though, on the year. My guess is will get a bit more snowfall before spring arrives.
