I’m happy to bring you fresh spring images from yesterday. It’s colder than it looks though. Waiting for warm peace (expression by Slavoj Žižek).
Transition From will to do from has to been from fire to flood from calm to storm from winter to spring from defeat to victory from pandemic to war from cold war to warm peace from nothing to everything








In response to Patrick Jennings’ Pic and a Word Challenge #304: Transition
This day in my blogging history
Beautiful photos! I love this time of year with budding things all around!

Thank you, Bridgette. Welcome to my blog! As long as we can rely on the budding, it’s going to be okay.

Are those cherry blossoms? Those are my favorite! The doors with the horses on the handles—wow!

Thanks, Betsy. The horse handles are in my city, Ljubljana in Slovenia, and yet I only discovered them after moving away. As for the blossoms – I’m really confused which colour is which tree… I believe these are almonds though. I always thought that cherries must be pink but apparently it’s not so.

So almond trees have beautiful blossoms too. That’s good to know! No idea on colors of cherry tree blossoms. For supposedly being my favorite, I should probably know this! 🙂

How cold is your cold?
Dreaming of warm peace as well…

Right, Bojana. That’s a good dream to have, no matter how Slavoj meant it. My cold is about 2 in the night. During the day it’s good, around 10-14 but the chill remains. On Friday will be 17. That’s good.

Spring, yes. The wait is every bit worthy when the blossoms come to remind us how precious life is.
Cherry blossoms. Yes, I saw a lone tree in full bloom on my walk today. So happy.
Lovely poem. Love photos as always.
Stay as you are. Thinking of you when I have a lovely calendar that I love. Thank you. xoxo

Thank you, Selma! 🙂 I’m so happy that you love my calendar and that it makes you think of me. Seasons are a great reminder. Let them last. I can imagine your lone tree. Was it pink? I here that cherry blossoms can be white as well.

This warms my heart and assures me of Spring. My fave is #7 from the top, but I also love the violets, and for some reason the composition of #6 grabs me every time I look at it. Love that shadow as the backdrop. Happy Spring, Manja.

Happy spring to you too, Crystal. It’s coming! I’m glad you like them. I returned home for my camera after I came upon this corner also because I remembered you’d enjoy seeing them. Thank you! These violets are in the same place every year, and only in this place.

Gorgeous emerging spring! (It’s blowing and snowing here today amid our daffodils!) Thanks also for sharing past posts. I particularly like Bestia and his stick (“there and then”) and the gorgeous rainy day close-ups of shimmering copper.

Beautiful poem and hopeful spring blossoms (though of course, war continues to rage). Bestia’s eye, rainbow, horse head door handles and a rainy window pane – that in itself is a most excellent visual poem.
