“Let us find inner freedom in each lucky moment that we encounter, like a sun-basking butterfly that finds peace on a cherry blossom petal.” ― Erik Pevernagie

 

I was delighted to see the first cherry blossom in bloom on my dog walk, only to walk then meet a friend for coffee and discover the streets were full of them and the season had been going for weeks. A lesson in that sometimes it's just our small corner of the world that distorts what's actually happening....



Lessons in perspective are everywhere....



And in a few weeks the pink petal snow will fall...

  5. I've been trying to find some spring blossoms here but haven't had much luck, if I'd still be in Northland there would be heaps everywhere.
