Spring daffodils

Maybe you’ve noticed that it’s full-on daffodil season in New York right now.

These happy yellow flowers are always a welcome reminder that Spring. Is. Here. But also that there is an incredible diversity of form in nature. A favorite place to see this live is the conservatory gardens in Central Park at 103rd Street and Fifth Avenue. But in case we can’t all get there, a little gallery of daffodil variety courtesy of Flickr!

Spring snowdrops

Since it’s spring, I thought it would be nice to share some of what makes spring comforting to me–all the flowers! Especially the ones that tell us spring is on the way. The first flowers up are usually snowdrops.

This looks like a great place to stop for a rest, enjoy a picnic, or to soak up some sun before a long, meditative walk.

This Spring Break, I’m finding a little bit more time to (safely) get out and walk, explore how things are changing to really declare that spring is here.
