Today here in New England we had a few flakes of snow and sun and now clouds but the squirrels are collecting wet leaves and the bunnies are out in full force.. The tulips are up but not out yet.

March here in north Texas is full of beautiful Redbuds in bloom and the Bradford pear trees white blooms already turning to green leaves.. Daffodils and Hyacinths are popping up with beautiful color everywhere… the recent rains have the grass turning green and leaving the dormant brown behind…we have a few sunny 80 degree days mixed in with rainy 50 degree days… my cat loves the open window days❤️😍🌱🌿🪻🌷💐

Beautiful photos Karen. I like how you describe March as "moody and muddy" as well - so fitting here in Ottawa right now. I like that Yellow-rumped Warbler photo and am looking forward to some appearing soon later this month/early April. They're typically the first warbler species I see in Ottawa. They're fun to watch zipping and darting around the trails and hedges.

March birthday (early March, which might be the worst?). On the day I was born, there was a blizzard. This year, I sat outside in the sunshine on my birthday. March is uniquely and always herself, which is what I'm striving to be.

Also, those patterns in the sand are amazing.

March is a mystery. You never know what she will give you. I was born in the middle of March during a snow storm. I have experienced warm, cold, rainy, and sunny birthdays. All sorts of different weather. March signals the coming warmth, and I love it.

Thank you Dawn! My mother probably would have said much the same as a first day of spring birthday.

That line tickled me too. Perhaps it's time to take out my dusty old party clothes..the aloha and disco shirts, the flip flops and Panama hats!

Karen, I have never appreciated March as much as today. What a gift you have sent pairing your exquisite words and brilliant thoughts with your art. You must publish a book on “MARCH”.

What a marvelous post! How beautiful the reflections and photographs! Here in Portland, the March lion is roaring. The winds buffeted the zendo this morning but the candles did not waver. 🙂 Thanks for your splendid essay!
