I love the idea of the year coming around again and last year's story making sense in a new way. I have definitely had this experience! They key for me now is to learn to wait for it, and trust it will come.

Oh...yes! Waiting and trusting are two things I have to work at a LOT.

Reading your words about the tapestry of nature and how you have been weaving stories together makes me think about the way my life does, and does not, weave into the natural world. More common threads are needed.

More common threads are needed, for certain.

The photo of the oriole's nest is incredible -- how did you capture that?! Wow. Also ... "no demarcation line that says that was spring, this is summer" .... so true! I love how you express that.

Thank you Jeanne. That orioles nest is in a tree in the parking lot believe it or not. 😀

Beautiful descriptive writing Karen and gorgeous photos! As an artist I feel a bit frantic trying to absorb and take in all spring has to offer! lol She just marches on too quickly, never slowing down for those who want to soak in her beauty a bit longer. xx

Thank you - I'm glad I'm not the only one! Spring IS frantic.

The tree swallow with the indeed, very large feather gave me an ah oh moment! I can't recall ever having seen a bird carrying such a large feather, a whole new perception high in the sky for me.

Usually I see them with much smaller feathers, but they were taking feathers from below the eagle's nest so I guess they knew what they were doing!

I love your close-ups of things and creatures I know but have never seen in such detail -- thank you.

Just when I fear that the chaos in the world has gotten the upper hand, these breathtaking images and

the tapestry of nature reassures me that all is not lost and renews my hope and joy! Thank you for a Trinity Sunday "sermon" preached by creation itself.
