This is beautiful imagery for hope, John. I think of green spring as nature's iconic symbol of hope after a cold winter. Congrats on your win. ~ john

Congratulations John. This reminds of the Snowdrop flowers that bravely come up through the snow - one of my favorite flowers. They epitomize hope to me and all the hope of spring! Beautifully done.

This is brilliant John! This made me feel as I did when my cactus bloomed after waiting a year for it. I kept scolding it, telling it "you're supposed to bloom, why aren't you blooming!" May arrived and on my birthday I noticed it bloomed. I apologized. Congratulations on your well deserved win! ; )

Thank you, Connie. I enjoyed your cactus story, thanks for sharing. Nature gives us much hope, and sometimes a little patience helps as well. Best wishes. John
