When I think of the colours of springtime, green is first, of course. The buds on the trees, and the grass greening up, and the leaves of the daffodils and tulips that poke up before the flowers themselves. But green is just the beginning! All the pastel and bright shades of spring flowers, the blue skies, and since April showers are needed for May flowers, rainbows bring spring colours as well.
The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.
~Julian Grenfell
Spring comes: the flowers learn their colored shapes. ~Maria Konopnicka
Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil. ~Reginald Heber
Beautiful as a dandelion-blossom golden in the green grass, this life can be. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
~William Wordsworth
The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. ~Harriet Ann Jacobs

And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.

My favorite season is fall because I love those golden-toned warm colors but spring can't be far behind. Lovely captures here, Kym.
ReplyDeleteI like that Millay found beauty in the dandelion. I have gotten to where I can barely stand to pull the little flowering weeds from our yard. In some places, they are more beautiful and seem to thrive where 'real' flowers and Bermuda grass just won't.
