A row of bare trees as I walk down the street— Ah! a single plum blossom. In my rush to catch the bus didn't have time to take a photograph. It's a bit windy and I recall Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"— a call for the great spirit. Arriving at the lab, a friend had sent me email with this haiku— "Daffodils are up. Scent of flowers fills the air. It feels like spring." Four days later I return to the street for the lone blossom photo but Nature waits for no one— the plum blossom is not alone as hundreds more had bloomed. — Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 2-11-2014 |
