"Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,
hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees." -Rainer Maria Rilke

Dianne,
Beautiful pictures and quotes. Thanks for sharing! This is my favorite time of year - time to get down and dirty (digging in the garden, of course!).
Of course! I really crave fresh air and sunlight at this time of year. And going on little photo safaris, is great exercise, for body and soul.
