Signs of spring are everywhere. It's hard to imagine so much of Europe covered with snow while here I see snowdrops nodding their heads under shrubs, daffodils and tulips thrusting pointed leaves through brown soil, and shoots of Siberian Iris standing four inches tall in their pots. Today, while eating lunch two robins flew across the yard and perched in the skeletal branches of the plum tree.
Last night I lit candles and enjoyed their glow against the pale pink tulips I brought home from the market. Beauty feeds the soul.

Beautiful mosaic! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love pink and green together. And this mosaic just exudes peace and beauty.
ReplyDeletethe pink tulips are lovely - and thank you for the beautiful quote from Anne Frank.
ReplyDeleteAlso thankyou for stopping by my blog - as to your question re the textures - I use Photoshop Elements - it is like a reduced version of Photoshop - cheaper and easier to use, still with lots of features - more than enough for what I want to do. I am sure you must be able to use other photo editing programs to do textures too.
Have a wonderful week.
These photos are very relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

Your tulips are gorgeous. I love that color. I had them last week too. Lovely mosaic.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful weekend wasn't it? Did you see the sunset? I believe spring is on its way!
ReplyDeleteWith the warm temperature is does feel like spring, I also have snowdrops in flower. I will enjoy it while I can, colder temperatures in the forecast. Beautiful tulips.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of Europe covered in ice and snow is not nearly as thought-provoking as your enjoying spring-like temps. Yes, I'm identifying much more with Europe's weather.
ReplyDeleteLovely pale shades of pink...very spring like.
Has your book arrived yet? Oh my!
A happy post it is! Love the words of Anne Frank. Signs of spring are making me happy these days as well...and I am enjoying my own bouquet of pink tulips.
