"... everywhere I have been,every minute, day and night,
my soul has been fullof mysterious anticipations.
I can hear the sound of its footsteps....
I feel the approach of happiness, Anya;I see it coming ...
it is coming towards us,nearer and nearer;
And if we do not see it,if we do not know it,
what does it matter?
Others will see it."
Quotes fromAnton Chekhov's play

ReplyDeleteO my brave soul!
O farther farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! are they not all seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!
The pictures are beautiful.
Really enjoyable photographs!
ReplyDeleteAbsolut wundervoll, dieses ganz spezielle Merisi Licht und die Verse dazu - was für ein schöner Moment. Danke!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, I think Spring has arrived here too!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you put these verses to images. You do a beautiful job at this, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteThose blossoms look beautiful :0)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as ever, Merisi. I really am going to have to invent some new superlatives.
ReplyDeleteI did a report on one of Anton Chekhov's plays or short stories once. I failed miserably. I wish paid more attention to it!
ReplyDeleteOh what do I know...!
Anyway, I digress.
I do love gazing at rows and rows of cherry blossoms!
W.A. Mozart: so young, so gifted, alas, gone too soon (35??)!
That is arguably simple yet spectacular grave of a very famous composer!
Merisi, you have captured the beautiful flowers close up! On this afternoon's walk, I went for the long view camera click ... and did get to see the tulips on Park Ave.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
I love the way your second photo shows the star at the base of each blossom -- a blooming galaxy!
ReplyDeleteAh, beautiful photos. Spring has taken a back seat this weekend with the sighting of a little sleet and a few snowflakes this weekend.
ReplyDeleteyum...I can just SMELL those blossoms! Can't wait to get them here.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!and great wheather btw
ReplyDeletePretty blossoms - they promise long days and blue skies xo
ReplyDeleteWish I could inhale the heady aroma of the cherry blossoms. Beautiful pictures. Our trees finished blooming quite a while ago. I actually think we will have a nice but small crop of cherries this season. That is if I can get to them before the birds gorge themselves.
ReplyDeletei looooove cherry blossoms! they're in bloom here in Toronto as well !
ReplyDeleteOh, the season, the season!
