flowers in the woods
tiny blessing to enjoy
moments of beauty
~
Spring is my favorite season as you may know from my recent posts. Wildflowers and blooming trees are a big part of what makes it so enjoyable for me. I especially love finding tiny little flowers along the trails as I hike. They are little gifts from nature to enjoy and cherish during their short spring display. They could be there one week and gone the next. Garden flowers typically bloom much longer than these ephemeral displays in the woods.
Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul ~ John Muir
May there always be flowers to warm our hearts.
