Slowly emerging

Despite the cold, snowy weather and limited daylight, nature is slowly emerging from Winter.
All around are small signs of growth and returning life:
Purple leaf buds on the elder tree -



Daffodil shoots poking through the earth -



A cap of rich moss on old stone -



Vivid green shoots through decaying leaves -


Tiny fungi peeping out from hedges -



A new painting takes shape in the studio -



And I am out from hibernation and looking forward to a creative 2015.....

    At last... Still underground, but I hope, soon She will arise in Poland too... No snow, heavy winds... weather like in Ireland here. ;)

    And I get with new plans for current life. New City, new job (I hope), new oportunities. Thanks to your wisdom and teachings too, Jane.

    What a joy to see today, Jane!

    We had temps below zero F; the only green around is a few houseplants in the house!

    Looking forward to seeing the completed new painting!!
