You've certainly sent out your own captured beauty and wonders, as you always do.

I always expect anemones to have little jiggle-fingers, waving in the breeze.

Don't you just LOVE the names of flowers? I have a little notebook somewhere, with pages and pages of the old-fashioned names like tansy and henbane and love-lies-bleeding, and a lot of the uses for the different plants. I was just looking up "poke sallet" the other day on Google, and it's amazing that such a humble plant still has so many fans, as I thought it must have been a "po' folks" Spring food, after the dry, green-less Winter. And there was even a picture of a CAN of the stuff. I tried to imagine how many dusty roadsides they'd have to walk with that "poke" before they found enough for a canning factory.

So there we have it, our offerings for the day---my old Spring Tonic, boiled and limp, and your sublime vistas and colors and images to make angels smile.

I hope you a wonderful, filled-with-joy day!
