In some parts of this great country, spring is making it's appearance. to others well, sorry it's still winter. here in the great Northwest we're dealing with extraordinary amounts of rain.
You might have caught on the national news the problems of landslides and how about a hundred have been anticipated to have been killed in the Oso, Darrington area.
The attached photos show a quince getting ready to bloom, accompanied by a singular violet
in bud itself. Spring winds have the kites dancing in the scroll. What i didn't show clearly but hid on the top of the bonsai display table with the quince is a tenpai of a snail headed for it's next meal.
So the initial look has the display pretty conventional with 3 elements, but to the real observer
a quietly hidden 4th element adds to the general charm.
The landslide story has really weighed heavy on my heart this week with the loss of so many, but I needed to bring something good into my life with the promise of spring and new life, the joy of which can be appreciated in a singular bloom.
