DAZZLING THE WORLD WITH BRILLIANCE: (A NEWBORN SPRING FLOWERS PHOTO BLOG)

Hi Everybody!!
My Dad shared words of wisdom with me all my life as I am sure your Dad shared with You! There were some words shared over and over and over again as if to hammer them into my head. One particular phrase was how to communicate with other people:
"You must Dazzle them with Brilliance or be able to Baffle them with B S !!" Dad would be proud as I have achieved both! Anyway, tonight I Dazzle You with Brilliance, however it is not my brilliance, it is the splendor of newborn flowers on dead looking branches. This is Nature's Brilliance. I simply record it to share its Glory. I did plant all these little trees among the big ones that were here when I arrived. Now, I just watch them grow from year to year. If you can somehow feel inspired by these new babies, I know you will begin to plant something. Anything would benefit other living things (like You too)! Have some fun and celebrate the new life returning after winter cold. Enjoy Nature as you pay more attention to it!
