Purple Tulips Looking for Spring

The first lovely sunny day after all the days of snowfall, and I think I forgot how bright it could be with all the light reflected from the snow.

Here the delicate purple tulips, placed on the table the previous night for the art display at my poetry reading, have turned toward the sun through the course of the afternoon, just like all the rest of us.

And anything looks richer placed against the backdrop of the rich, deep woodwork of the library’s windows.
