Some spring treasures that have brightened my week include …
The dazzling beauty of a daughter’s smile
The thrill of a son’s daring somersault
(Nothing shouts “Spring!” louder than a trampoline in a muddy garden!)
The burst of flavours and laughter popping on my tongue
And, finally, the brave budding of fragile flowers through the last of the ice.
Oh – and I just can’t resist a final final shot of spring – pussy willows with a message of warmth and promise hidden inside.

· Nice photos. The first one is fantastic.
About your question…
In the post 453, they are not piano strings .. In fact, the top right of the photograph is a bridge. I have reflected the mirror image and compressed image and then reflected down again.
The music you hear is my second musical composition. You can hear the first one in the post 442 (La Mirada Ausaente)

Thanks for commenting on my blog and sending birthday greetings to my husband. I wasn’t able to comment while we were away because we seldom had a reliable internet connection.
