Spring begins

My friend Stephanie sent me an email with these photos the other day and they are so beautiful I wanted to share them with you. And how perfect to share them today, this first day of Spring.

"My beloved spoke and said to me,

"Arise, my darling,

My beautiful one, come with me.

See! The winter is past;

The rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth;

The season of singing has come,

The cooing of doves

Is heard in our land.

The fig tree forms its early fruit;

The blossoming vines spread their fragrance.

Arise, come, my darling;

My beautiful one, come with me."

- Song of Solomon 2:10-13
