Spring

Spring

The miracle of Spring is upon us,

The anemones smile from their lairs;

The daises too make a carpet of white

In this countryside of ours.

Snow in the mountains glistens,

The low sun casts its delight;

Winter is slowly stepping aside,

Spring has put it to flight.

The gold of the buttercup flashes,

Birds find their voices again.

The grass on the roadside awakens

And bulbs come alive where they've lain.

The daffodils stand up and trumpet,

The snowdrops swing to the tune,

The crocus peeps out from its slumber;

Summer is coming soon!

Then let us enjoy the wonder's reborn,

When each season tells its own story;

Give a special thought to the coming of Spring

That awakens nature in all of her glory.

March 2013

The first and fourth photos were taken near a little historical village called Kayakoy, near Fethiye, last Sunday (10th), a family enjoying the experience and a young lady with the ever-present mobile phone!. The second was taken in the suburbs of Fethiye near where I live from time to time and shows the Golgeli Mountains in the background that rise to about 8,000 feet. The third was by the roadside near Kayakoy. Camera used: Nikon Coolpix L310. Handy for an amateur like me!
