More Flowers, Sunshine And Rainbows, Please And Thank You

An unexpected welcome surprise and reprieve here in Germany

This has become a new favorite photo. Note the 2 older people on bikes with no helmets! People of all ages love to bike in Germany. Photo by KL Simmons

Living in northern Germany reminds me a lot of my years living in Seattle, Washington.

The winters are very similar (I don’t think the summers are though, we’ll see).

It’s quite common for it to rain multiple days in a row. It doesn’t snow often and when it does, the snow doesn’t usually stick or accumulate much on the ground.

I like that — a lot.

You know what else I like?

Sunshine and rainbows!

My partner (who prefers to keep his identity under wraps) and I went for a nice, long walk on Valentine’s Day. It was partly cloudy, but there was enough sunshine that made me wish I’d brought my sunglasses.

All of a sudden, we felt little drops of rain while the sun was still shining on our faces.

It was sprinkling and we felt giddy, like children, dancing in the light rain shower.

Right then I turned around to see a big, bright, beautiful rainbow stretched across the sky!

Rainbows always make me feel magical, as do the first flowers of spring.

Look at those colors!

These were the best Valentine’s Day presents…from Mother Nature.

I know that spring is around the corner, but I didn’t expect to see these pops of color in people’s gardens during our walk to the park.

See how the stark contrast- bright yellow and orange against the muted colors of stone and sticks with bits of grass in between. Photo by KL Simmons

I’m not a photographer, but I love photographing the things that make my heart sing.

Flowers, rainbows and sunshine make my heart strings ring as they call out for spring!

I didn’t even realize just how much I missed seeing these gorgeous displays of Nature.

You think I’d be used to this…year after year.

It never gets old.

Yet, Nature is ancient.

(It surprises us all)

Björk- “Nature Is Ancient” lyrics

It’s bright in the middle With a shell around it It’s called life

It goes wherever it wants to Don’t try to predict it Then you’d offend it It’s meant to surprise

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all Nature is ancient, but surprises us all, all, all

Rescue me From level-headedness An unnecessary luxury of being calm

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all Nature is ancient, but surprises us all

She’s got dark hairs on her head And blood on her arms She sneaks up from behind Come on — you deserve it!

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all Nature is ancient, but surprises us all Nature is ancient, but surprises us all Nature is ancient, but surprises us all

Nature is ancient So ancient Nature is ancient Ancient
