Description
Spring in Ohio is glorious . . . with Magnolias, Crabapple, Cherry and Redbud trees blooming . . . daffodils, crocus, creeping phlox spreading over the flower beds and practically singing the praises of warm sunny weather. . . . and then one morning you rise to look outside and see snow falling. Hmmm, you wonder if there was enough falling to maybe stick to the ground?. . . . and then you look out a window . . . and yep, you gasp! All of a sudden it is winter again! The beautiful blooms are covered in cold heavy whiteness. It is actually beautiful in it's own unique and surprising way. . . . The beauty and quiet is awe inspiring. It is a new perspective . . . it is an appreciation of something you were not expecting . . . it brings a new happiness . . . and then it also brings another gasp . . . some poor little Redbuds that had been so heavy with lovely purple blooms the evening before could not hold up the weight of this unexpected winter blanket. . . . some have big branches torn right off . . . some split right in half . . . . so in one brief moment there is surprise, joy, awe, shock, dismay and acceptance . . . that is nature . . . . that is life. . . . and by afternoon the snow is all gone!
This took place on April 21, 2021! April showers bring May flowers, but heavy April snow brings . . . . tree damage!

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
