The Superabundance of Spring
The Superabundance of Nature
The superabundance of nature in the spring-time takes our breath away as we see new beauty unfolding on all sides. Every field, wood, hedgerow and garden erupting into fresh green. In G.M.Hopkins’ words it is ‘all in a rush with richness‘. We are bewildered by the profusion.

Thanks for joining me for this post. I hope your presence will encourage me to try to do justice to this most wonderful season.
