seasons

We had a long winter-like weather, with a slow incoming spring here.

The changes were not obvious: it started with a slight thawing and longer daylight. The breezes teased with different temperatures - warm and soft, followed by harsh and cold. It felt like nature was reluctant to wake its children, so the call was gentle and soft.

with spring comes certain changes - the colours for one. trees bloomed into life, with their shades of colours. flowers, those growing in the fields, blossomed and announced the seasons with their colours. the startling blossoms of colour on the ground were almost in competition with those on the trees.

walking along the way, if one is close enough, you could detect little hints of fragrance from the trees. the fresh scent of spring. the smell from the flower blossoms. the gentle smell of life-awakening.

are we in spring or already in summer? I have no idea. but the awakening call from hiberation has been sounded - and all of nature has responded to it.
