Right now we’re immersed in a crayon box of color. Purple, pink, yellow, and every shade of green. Even with Spring in full bloom though, sometimes we don’t even notice the details of nature. The “outdoors” is almost only a backdrop to what we’re doing.

All the flowers in bloom are obvious. Look closely at the tree buds. You’ll still see browns and grays, especially amongst the trees. Look at the ground – how many different shades of green can you find? Don’t forget the butterflies! I saw both yellow and white ones flitting around today.
