The cold ground is still bare and brown but the little violet iris appears as a messenger from Winter’s earth up to the sky and the emerging golden sun of Spring. The earth is inviting the sun to send its light and warmth, ’I have rested all winter long and now it is time to dance and play once again.’ The February sun smiles on the earth, on the little iris, and sends its rays to light up her petite petals and Spring is born.
Nature gives us gifts. After winter comes spring and little bits of heaven arrive on the bare soil.
This picture is another, more easterly, window view from the Welsh cottage. The wet winter clouds cleared a little for a brief time and so this created a subtle contrast with the previous snowdrops view, suggesting a hint of the spring to come.
