Lake Lewisia #1370

[scrubjayspeaks]

Given the warmth and rains this year, already leading to record early appearances of annual blooms, it could be tempting to think that formal markers like the Spring Equinox are relics of a lost age and no longer meaningful descriptors of the natural world around us, let alone in distant places that will be locked in snow for weeks to come. But if the Spring Equinox was arbitrary, why would the Fairy Court have chosen that occasion to steal one of us each year--mere caprice? Actually, meteorology and temperament both considered, that does sound more likely, doesn't it?
