Swede’s Photographs<p>Good morning, friends. 🌹🌹🌹</p><p>17 March 2025</p><p>Every morning over the past few days, as I open the blinds in my office and look out the window, the grass has seemed a little greener. Spring is just three days away. Deciduous trees are beginning to sprout new leaves, and faint traces of yellow pollen are starting to emerge. Today, the sky is crystal clear—a definite sign that spring is near. At the edges of the forest, a few tiny pink, white, and yellow wildflowers have begun to bloom, though they’re still too sparse to dominate the view. Yesterday, I spotted cowbirds. They’ve been gone all winter, but now they’re back, ready to help fill the spring nests of other birds. Winter is finally coming to an end, and its return feels distant, safely tucked away in the cycle of seasons.</p><p>"Daffodils,<br>That come before the swallow dares, and take<br>The winds of March with beauty." -<br>William Shakespeare</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photographylovers</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/rose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rose</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/absract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>absract</span></a></p>
