The Daffodils. The shad and mayflowers, the flowering cherries. The beach plums and crabapples. The golden heather. Through it all, the Quaker Ladies. The Rosa Rugosa and ox-eye daisies.
Spring progresses, with each of its waves of leafing and blooming. The nature world changes rapidly, with winter's gray moors punctuated by green pines and cedars becoming spring's yellowy greens and fuzzy whites; and the red of emerging leaves and scrub oak catkins. Soon the trees and shrubs will settle to their summer's green, but the flowers will continue their procession.
Nature is constantly changing, but the rhythms of that change, endure.
