Springtime pictures and thought

Got caught up with the rain celebration and took a few nature shots. Also added a few words that struck me when I was looking at the photos.

Plum Blossoms. Wished I could post their sweet smell.


Thunderstorms


A gentle breeze crosses the prairie
Making the new grasses sway
Moving to the tune of the meadowlarks
All cheerfully singing away

Gray clouds quickly departing
As sunshine enlightens the land
Puddles of water are everywhere
Fulfilling a thirsty demand

The greeness of the grass is overwhelming
Making me pause and stare
So brilliant , so vibrant, so wonderful
Covering the ground everywhere

The dampness of the soil fill my nostrils
Blended with wild prairie flowers
A cocktail of life and promise
Made possible by warm thundershowers

The prairie is one big table
We creatures are all just it’s guest
God decides all the menus
I think I like springtime the best! :wink:

Glad you all enjoyed, thanks.

Sure am loving the spring this year, don't remember it this green for many years.
