Partly, of course, spring is about the angle of sunlight, how early the sun comes up, how late it stays. I never thought I had seasonal affective disorder, wasn’t sure I believed there was such a thing. But I do find I’m cheered up by sunlight, discouraged by gray skies.
The photos today are mostly self-explanatory, but I want to point out how vibrant the moss looks in early spring. Also, the last photo is of a New England wildflower called Mayapple.

Really nice selection of photos showing spring in New England. A slow process but delightful when it finally arrives.
Indeed. When Rhode Island flowers first, I’m envious, but then it’s our turn in Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s spring show is all gone.
Lovely! wishing you a bright a cheery May!
And to you in Sunny California!
