From David: Here are a few pix of a nice, snug, hideout, one where you a person can withdraw, yet observe, embrace the peace of the dark, yet still see the light, and one that’s not too hard to get out of when it is time to embrace life again. What a magnificent tree, and a splendid hiding place. I love such places, they have a tangible magic and peace to them. Click for full size!

From Sillybill: I saw this crocus popping up outa the ground Sunday and thought a small vision of the coming spring might make you smile. I’m not a good photographer, lousy camera, lot’s of hand jitter – I’ll work on getting better. I have to say, I don’t care about the lousy photographer business, because these did make me smile, and more. It’s been ages since I’ve been out in early March to photograph Windflower, the one reliable source which brings the promise of Spring, so I’m going to get out in the cow pastures this year.
