" NOTHING is so beautiful as spring—
  When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
  Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
  The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
  The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling. "
(Gerard Manley Hopkins)

Happy Spring Everyone !
 

Spring in Minnesota is a bit short. It usually starts on April, but the weather won't be so nice and warm until May, and it ends on June. Temperature will still be a bit cold, especially for me who come from tropical country :o) , around 15 degree Celcius. Flowers and trees start to grow, birds and other wild animals like raccoons, squirrels, butterflies start to fly in from the south areas.

Back here in Indonesia, we don't have spring season. Any kinds of plants can grow along the year because we always have nice and warm temperature. I have seen spring in other countries and I like to see how the leaves start to grow with fresh green color, look like they just had been showered by fresh water. Everything is so clean and fresh.

Here in our spring pages you can see a glimpse about spring with lots of cuties ! Enjoy the freshness and happy browsing !
