One of our words for the day was delight. For the first time in a while it was a good morning to walk - no wind or rain - cold but with more light in the sky.

It felt like a rejuvenating day with signs that spring is not far away - flowers beginning to bud and unfurl; and wattle showing up in patches.
I loved the tiny droplets of dew that still clung to some of the small flowers brave enough to blossom or even have passed their prime.

Bees were out early - a little sluggish but already working. I also came across the top of a hive in one of the yards I cut through on my walk - wax and a little honey left for the workers.
On Wednesday afternoon last week Fiona and I sat on the southern deck and drank wine as we watched a storm form in the valley, drop a little rain and then clear sky again after a rainbow.

What is not to delight in the show of nature.
I think the show of nature is one of the greatest delights in our world, and can be found everywhere, from city streets to native forests. Your photos are wonderful, B!
