spring is springing like mad

[dancing_crow]

The weather is warming, the days are longer, every tree and bush has tiny green or pink or white buds budding and the beginnings of leaves coming out. We face the Holyoke Range, and there is enough elevation difference that I can see the green haze moving slowly up the flanks of the (east coast and ridiculously short but still) mountains. We get this glorious green haze, which feels like a piece of otherworldly magic, and then the leaves come out for serious-like, and the haze turns into an actual tide of real, varied, photosynthetic green that sweeps up the hills, and then at the end of May - BAM - summer. The oak leaves are still to open fully, but everything else popped out and unfurled and there is dappled shade in the deep woods again.

I like the changing parts of the year. I love fall when everything goes from the slow heat of summer to the bustle of gathering in. I also love this part of spring, where I can see the changes from one day to the next, and feel like a daily picture would become an amazing time lapse of this flow of color.

no virus. I am not thinking about it for all of today.
