The Beginning of New Beginnings!

Spring is stirring.

Slowly, perhaps, this year, but stirring nonetheless.

Even on cold days such as this, the sun stays up a little longer, the intensity of the warming effect is that little bit more than a few weeks ago. And Nature is beginning  to wake from her long, deep slumber.

Welcome Lady Spring, we missed you!!

Promise of Spring, Part 3

Here is the third and final post of my walk through the greenhouses of Allan Gardens, and the less-green reality of Toronto in March.

I always enjoy my time in the lush greenery of those greenhouses, and I truly have been enjoying the wonderfully warm weather that this weekend has brought to Toronto and area. Yet, Mother Nature does not instantly turn the world green the first day we see a little sun and warmer weather. Growth in Nature, and in ourselves, takes a little longer. So, The selection ends with a couple photos taken right after I left the verdant beauty of Allan Gardens.

Sometimes reality isn't so beautiful. But even inn the muddy world of near-spring in Toronto, there is always a little beauty. It, like love, is in the eye of the beholder!
