The Magic of Springtime Begins!

Last night was the first Spring-like evening, a prelude to the Vernal Equinox today. After an unusually long and bitterly cold winter, Spring is here; and with Springtime, the Magic of Life!

Friday evening was Magical! Walking with dog.Zorra through the woods just before sunset, the Spring Peeper Frogs were filling the emptiness between the still bare trees with Songs; joyous, jubilant frog songs! Leaving the woods, I saw the first Bat of spring flitting overhead, chasing the first flying bugs of Spring.

The setting Sun intensified from pastel into deep red/orange on the horizon.


Then through the tree tops the waxing New Moon appeared, like a giant grin in the sky, smiling over this first true spring evening.



Not wanting the Magic to end, we wandered around until late under the New Moon enjoying the first warm evening in so many months, delighting in the sights and sounds of Life re-emerging all around.


Peace & Love

  1. Just love your description Gilannie and the pics. Made me feel like I was there with you. I absolutely love the tree frogs and even have a recording of different tree frog songs. They get deafening here on the lake sometimes.
