Little Things
It is the little things that are so easy to miss. In the noisy rush of life, we tend to scan the horizon and listen for the demanding and warning sounds and forget to stop and rest our eyes on what is right in front of us before our footsteps, small but perfect, quiet but significant, fragile and oh so temporary in the brief respite that is spring.
These daffy-down-dillies above are about nickel size.
This hybrid speedwell snuck itself into a pot of some other annual I was buying many years ago, and I nurtured it and put it into one of my flower beds, where each year it gently spreads and rewards me with these lovely flowers.
These exotic flower stalks may be from my Heuchera. I have to wait and see what those small leaves look like.

Spring is bursting out in your yard!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing my daffodils and the Iris are starting up.
ReplyDeleteLike is good when you always have something to look forward to, like a flower bloom, or favorite birds returning to their nest.
ReplyDeleteI tried to find some of that speedwell but no luck so far.

DeleteSpring has sprung, beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, the small things are significant.
ReplyDeleteSmall, quiet, beautiful things do make us stop and remember to see the world with wonder.
ReplyDeleteEarly spring blooms and budding things, so fleeting, but all the more sweet.
ReplyDeleteLovely spring blooms!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying south facing hillsides covered with Yellow mustard. Daisies that used to be everywhere now are restrained by the influx of humans. But orange poppies do seem to be everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIf you can go and take photos I will be greatly pleased.
ReplyDeleteNothing but snowdrops in bloom here yet so I will feast my eyes on your beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI do always like to see the spring flowers.
