Encased Leaf

Will spring come this week and free me from all our snow and ice? My guess is no, but I can wait. There's a lot of rain coming, and the thawing will continue. However, the sight of green grass is still a ways away. One good thing is that, as a we grow older, we gather many articles to take with us as our 'trip' continues. A special piece that most of us require, that's usually missing in our youth, is patience. It's an important quality for happiness. I'm patient now; spring will spring soon... I hope.

    Words full of inspiration and I love this picture, the texture, the colour, brilliant idea!

    Beautiful, Birdman. Though the rest of Vermont had heavy snows over the last 24 hours, in Brattleboro we've had epic rain. It has beat down and melted three-quarters of our standing snow so perhaps spring will be coming soon after all...at least to our little corner.

    I like this shot. It's coming, slowly but it's coming. We have buds on our trees!!!

    What a beautiful photo, this delicate leaf encased in snow, and what an intriguing message about patience. I hadn't thought of that before, but yes, so true.

    Love your photo and the message... Patience is a lesson that I will continually study and for which I will be tested.

    So true, Birdman, but I have to confess I would like to be more pacient when it comes to weather because I simply hate winter! LOL! OK, OK, I know winter is mild over here, but even so.... :-)

    My first time to comment. I love your photos but you know what I really like the "quotes" and the dictionary. Today's word in use:
    I have several collops on my poor old body.
    Read you every day. A visitor form Kansas and my name is really Dorothy.

    Sort of a Buddhist riff on non-attachment. This leaf could be a fossil.

    You mention spring... can I bring up summer? Doesn't that paper bag get a bit stuffy in high summer? I don't know that I could blog with a paper bag over my head. Then again I'm a giant hamster, so who am I to talk...
