It's Spring! {Part 1 of 7}

I have been taking a lot of pictures. Maybe because it is spring and everywhere I turn is a beautiful flower begging to be photographed. Or maybe it is because there is a chance we will be moving soon, and I'm feeling melancholy. No matter what the cause, I have seven pages to this post!

"Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!"
¸.•*´¨`♥ William Butler Yeats

"Just living is not enough" said the butterfly fairy, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
¸.•*´¨`♥ Hans Christian Anderson

"Have you seen but a bright lily grow, Before rude hands have touched it?"
¸.•*´¨`♥ Ben Jonson

“Nature, exerting an unwearied power, Forms, opens, and gives scent to every flower.”
¸.•*´¨`♥ William Cowper
