My black cat Pixie sitting with Spring flowers in the garden. Tiny Pink cyclamen, and pale pink white hellebore wide open flowers. It's outside and the shrubs behind her have few leaves.

1st April haiku for springy hopes.

April Fools, spring rain
Politicians ranting loud
Me, I watch the sparrow.

Global warming fear?
Am I a mere April Fool
To enjoy bright sun?

Clocks now gone forward
Lighter evenings at last
Can moods be lifted?

Plum blossoms falling
one petal #startles the air
a bee turns mid-flight

not the leaves of distant lands

Thank you.

what value money
if you own the world but have
no soul = billionaire?

A crowd of people cross a road at a busy city road crossing, some are blurred with their speed.

fearful souls lost in the woods

Rays of sunshine shine out from a sun hidden by a band of thick cloud. The sky above is blue, the landscape below in shadow

though we #obfuscate
light defies the darkest clouds
truth shall not be hid
