Spring flowers and earthquakes

Spring flowers and earthquakes

Today we walked in a lovely park admiring the spring flowers whilst underground the earth was grumbling and deciding that today was a good day to have its own spring clean and move the plates to a different cupboard.

We didn't feel the earthquake as a movement on the ground, but my mum did remark on the way the tree branches moved suddenly and the birds flew into the sky at one point in our walk but we just thought a storm was approaching and maybe that's all it was....

I love the turns of seasons, the colours suddenly change and spring is a good time to experience this new life, when the new buds appear, shoots push through the sleeping cold earth and seek out the warmth of the sun.

It always feels like a time of renewal, a time to reflect on where you are, a time to change and start new things, new approaches and push your boundaries.
