Another wander along the boardwalk brings colour and a bit of a sprinkle.

Spring’s release
Greys and browns slowly release
Their deathly grip on our souls.
Minor moments of colour—
Red, orange, green, yellow—
Poke out weary heads,
Finding welcome, seizing hope.
Splashes grow to puddles,
Puddles into deluge,
And the world is bathed
In chromatic bliss.
Spring lines have arrived.
Can the sales be far behind?

Not yet, autumn
As the air turns chilly in Toronto and cloud obscures the sun, a last reminder of some of the botanic splendour from this past summer.
- I can see where people get the idea of plants as predators
- The twin icons of a once whole trunk
- A beautiful rose awaits its final bloom
- Like fractals, the stars were made of stars
- The yellow of the petals seemed to glow
- Berries awaiting a dining insect, bird or mammal to spread their seed
Dual worlds
The mundane browns and greys of late Winter are slowly overwhelmed by the blue-skied hope of Spring yet to come. One of my favourite photos from Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario.
