It’s Spring again! Goodbye to that long-lasting winter of snowstorms, frozen ponds and biting winds. Gone are the days when we hated to leave our warm homes and walk along the lonely snow-covered streets in the fear of slipping and hurting ourselves with every step we took.
But now it was suddenly and miraculously a fine spring morning as I made my way to the university. I noticed some lush green bushes planted in a row along the road side. A few days later I saw some small purple flowers sprouting up in between the tram tracks. As the days passed, bright yellow and white flowers started blooming from the roadside plants, which made me stop to take this picture.
I’d like to imagine that everyone who noticed these new beautiful flowers would have become drowned in a world of happiness and at least felt for a fleeting moment: ‘How soon and wonderful are the changes happening around me.’ Although the city is green and beautiful, these plantings by Gemeente Delft are definitely a good idea. A sense of warmth is tapping at the door with these bright sunny days, unpredictable showers, flowers blooming, birds chirping, all heralding the onset of spring. Welcome back spring!
