Bleeding hearts at North Cascades National Park
April showers bring May flowers. True- and April showers bring spring greens to life! The moisture from the rain showers enhances the vibrant fresh greens. As one of my coworkers described it- the showers cause the new greens to pop! Listen closely and you'll hear the changing song of the rain as it taps against new leaves of varying sizes. Inhale deeply- deeper- and bring in the sweet scent of all that extra oxygen being produced by all those leaves. Not to mention the cottonwoods. Yes- I too have pollen issues so breathing deeply when the big leaf maples are pollinating is rough; especially since, ironically, I live on Maple Tree lane! I can't help myself, though. The new life and dramatic changes from the winter to the spring is so invigorating.

"Observe the wonders as they occur.
Don't claim them.
Feel the artistry moving through
and be silent."
Rumi
