Beautiful images. I think the spring bulbs are ready at St Anne’s Limehouse, too. Another beautiful and peaceful sanctuary.

In Basel there has been a little bird singing in the trees opposite my bedroom window at 5am every morning, it signals spring is on its way. I don’t mind being woken up in the slightest, it’s a lovely sound to wake up to. There are some flats around the corner on the site of what was once part of a meadow, the wild flowers are emerging again after a long winter. Nature is something to treasure, as are the seasons.

I was about to wax lyrical about flowers and butterflies and suchlike but found Christine had beaten me to it.
Er. What she said.

I am definitely a summer creature. I like to bask in warm sunshine and dress lightly so I really don’t fare well in cold, gloomy weather. Yesterday was a beautiful day and the spring flowers were resplendent in the warming sunshine. Everything feels much more positive as the season turns a corner and heralds better weather.
I love this post because it captures that feeling too. Amongst the tombstones there is sadness but hope too. The fragile beauty of spring flowers and the rare jewel of a butterfly, awakened from hibernation, makes us feel that there are good things ahead, no matter how bleak the past.

These pictures are very symbolic .
They remind me of the blind Helen Keller’s words , “ If we turn our heads towards the sun we cannot see the shadows”.
