Spring

Sweet fragrance of spring
within blossom of green youth
sparkles of new life
kaleidoscope of colors
tickled by gentle sunbeams

For years I lived in Michigan (There's a 'Holland' there - AND just across the river in Windsor Ontario Canada , a resturant: Marios, with a Tulip festival that accompanies an Indonesian food fest): My introduction to each new spring.

I loved this reintroduction - Most beautiful!

nakdthoughts: this morning when I went to work, I saw the branches of trees wearing some knobs....inhaling the soft air, and yeah I smell the spring within....on my way home I allready saw the first crocus coming above.....yeah spring will come soon.

Wilfred: I have heard about Holland in America....have seen the city on television, and isn't it a wonderful combination, the orient and the tulip mixed with each other.
to tell you the truth.....I make every day Indonesian food by myself as my husband prefer to have that,.......and .thank you for the beautiful

It's a long way from spring here, but you brought some sunshine in to tickle my evening.  Thanks.
