Daydreaming of Spring

-- Photo's from last June, The Butterfly Garden at Brookfield Zoo. --

Daffodils, by Mark R Slaughter

I fell in love -
Taken by the innocence of
child-faced daffodils.

Their perky April fanfares -
Clarion calls from yellow-ochre brass bands
Presaging, rejoicing, calling us.

" Here we are! Here we are! "

    1. Yes, it truly does! So hard to believe spring isn't that far away, it just doesn't feel like it's that close with how cold it still is!
