Spring Makes A Triumphant Comeback!

Do you also love to see Spring marching in?

Often, the advent of the different seasons is taken notice of with a more or less blasé attitude. Oh, another year and blah blah blah...yet, isn't Spring the most important season of the lot?

During Winter everything ( even us ) lies dormant and in a hibernating mode. Trees are bare, grass is either brown, or hidden under snow and birds are either asleep somewhere or are sunning themselves on the beaches and plains of Africa. In fact, a whole lot have just returned and are enduring their bi-annual jet lag! Listen, they are tweeting and twitching everywhere at the moment.

Spring ensures that everything grows again. Be it flowers, grass, wheat, vines, fruits or vegetables. Yes, we need this season. Apart from everything else, it revives us from our Winter malaise and reminds us that not everything is in black & white.

Even though officially Spring is still waiting for Winter to clear off ( at least for another few days), it sure looks and feels like it has kicked Winter out the door.

Some trees get dressed in their uplifting robes earlier than others.

The blue of the sky is a perfect setting and backdrop for the yellow buds. Bravo, Nature!

Emerging from the forest at the back of our village. The forest is still clinging on to the last bit of bareness.

Nature's colour choice is always perfect.

The village church. Building churches on a hill makes sense because it will endure any flooding and also be seen from afar...reminding us to attend.

A typical village in Burgenland. Hills or rather vineyards in the distance and farms in the foreground. Agriculture & viticulture are the mainstays here.
