Depression in the Thirties: Spring Day Captured

Looks like a foggy spring day in an old movie

I am holding these pictures in my mind and I'll be looking at them often tomorrow when we're getting snowed on and all the pretty hyacinths, tulips, crocuses and daffodils will shiver with disappointment at the sudden drop in temperatures. Today, I saw a gorgeous arrangement of birch wood branches and twigs, encircled by varying shades of succulent hyacinth and tulips. I was so tempted to grab a picture but I will have to content myself with the memory of them. When my daughters come next week, I hope to take them to more flower gardens and I hope and pray there will be blooms left to marvel at. I've discovered a new hobby this week while wandering aimlessly through the city, enjoying the sun and wind and in no huge hurry to catch my bus that wouldn't be coming for another two hours. They are certainly not professionally done, but I got so much delight and joy out of trying to compose them and thinking of sharing my day through these photos with my children. Next week, I want to see what else is in bloom!
