Hard to believe, but the spring equinox is March 20 – that’s Tuesday next week. I love the rush of life that happens in the spring.

In Bear Creek Park in Surrey, during one of our brief sunny breaks this week, I caught these crocuses coming up among the dead leaves from last year. It’s a busy photo, but it a way, it makes a statement about the seasons we know and love: all things rest and then begin anew.

Here’s one more to herald the coming spring.
