Crocuses poke, daffodils rise and apple blossoms rise
Butterflies return and fat bumble bees flit
Green grass grows all around
While
Scrawny squirrels leap from naked branches
Dirty snow slinks to the curb
Fickle breezes toss uncovered trash
Sometimes
You have to look down to find the beauty
of an early spring day.
I looked down on a Sunday afternoon stroll, and I found these clouds floating across an abandoned lot.This river path will be much more beautiful as the trees and grass fill in. On my walk, though, I looked down and saw a really pretty reflection in the melting snow.I love both the reflection of this gorgeous house in the puddle on the street in front of it, and the good ole Wisconsin boy skateboarding through the snowbanks in shorts and a T-shirt.The reflection here makes it look like a tree is growing through this car.The streets aren’t beautiful, but, in the right light, the puddle in it is.Caught this one morning on my walk to work. I liked the connection of the branch shadows and the puddle picture.Another beautiful old house reflected in the water.An extended puddle picture.This sidewalk picture is almost a perfect reflection of the street sign and sky.Wrong way, right light. Check out the window lights reflected in the puddle.
