green, wet wonder

If I had influence with the good fairy,
I would ask that her gift to each child
be a sense of wonder so indestructible 
that it would last throughout life.

    Spring makes rekindling that wonder easier, doesn't it? Happy Columbine watching!

    Such a great quote! I would like to read more about Rachel Carson. I haven't read my copy of Silent Spring since college. I should pull it out again. And such a fresh photo. Beautiful.

    A lovely quotation - unfortunately it is a long time since we have seen proper rain here.
