Penny Parish returns this week to share with us some stunning photographs of blooming tulips, dogwoods, and more. Plus, there is a stunning, surreal shot of the city unlike any we’ve ever seen. Enjoy the beauty Penny has captured as winter exits our region and everything, seemingly, is coming back to life.
Hora Stellatrix
The stars hang thick in the apple tree,
The south wind smells of the pungent sea,
Gold tulip cups are heavy with dew.
The night’s for you, Sweetheart, for you!
Starfire rains from the vaulted blue.
Listen! The dancing of unseen leaves.
A drowsy swallow stirs in the eaves.
Only a maiden is sorrowing.
’T is night and spring, Sweetheart, and spring!
Starfire lights your heart’s blossoming.
—Amy Lowell (1874-1925)
