shoots, leaves and petals: an interlude

The sun returned this weekend. At first hesitant, then brilliant (albeit accompanied by a ferocious wind), and today coy - ducking in and out behind the clouds. It's been a cheerful, busy weekend nonetheless, but I had to set aside a few minutes this afternoon to spend admiring the new landscape the season is inspiring.

Just a little appetizer - dinner's on the way...
