Bird of Paradise

Buds of beauty begin to appear. Iridescences sparkle in the sun. Robins start their trek up north. Discovery has just begun. Opulent life begins to emerge. Flowers soon bloom amid color’s serge. Perky pedestrians jog through the parks. Artists are seen painting in the streets. Rifles and guns are put away. All of life enjoys a sweet warming show. Daffodils display their cheerful smile. Impatienses patiently watch. Springtime smells permeate the air. Earth effervescently glows. © April 12, 2011 Dane Smith-Johnsen

What a delightful choice of flowers, dear Dane! (Wish the rufles and guns would always be put away and only artists and flowers will fill our streets.) Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
