    These are beautiful, and I especially love the colors, Ethel–wishing y’all a great weekend. God bless you.

  2. Lilacs-I love lilacs. Their perfume is so enticing and they look so fresh with their bright green leaves.

    My favourite is the nest. The eggs seems slightly out of focus and my eyes come to rest on the foreground, the nest. I see the industry of the nest and I smile at what I think is a piece of synthetic string…how something so eternal and timeless as a bird’s nest incorporates a piece of acrylic thread. Birds will be born into modernity!

  7. These are so beautiful, Ethel, and I love the title-theme. Springtime offers such vibancy and renewal!

  8. More pages lifted from the book of nature.
