Gorgeous photos and words. I've been feeling a bit sad about spring's swift passing, and I share those feelings about early spring. It's like I start missing it while it's still here. I'd like to work on not doing that.

Totally agree - it's such a strange sort of melancholy and I feel it acutely too... like knowing there's only a finite number of times in my life I'll be able to witness these blooms is a reminder that our days, years are numbered. I'm not sure how to get out of this mentality.
Maybe it's enough just to recognize it? It encourages me to be present. I do appreciate so many things more deeply than I did when time still felt infinite.
Yes I think you are on the right track here. ItтАЩs a lesson from nature, to be sure, and I think not resisting the melancholy but using it as a means to appreciation sounds like an outlook I can try on and get comfortable with.

Same here Rita, I know exactly how you feel. Thanks for looking, I'm glad you liked it.
