The thing about Spring is, beauty can occur in the most unexpected places.

1. Wow, that really looks exotic and colorful, my dear Siwsan!

So that's what rhubarb leaves look like!

Amazing and colorful.

Thanks for sharing your amazing photo!

3. This is the brand new growth. In a few weeks the leaves will be big and green

The stalks will be long and anything from green to a beautiful ruby red in color.

4. Thanks! I was astonished at how beautiful the new growth is

I've been growing rhubarb for years, but was too preoccupied with life's travails to really notice how beautiful this stage of growth is.

After the past 6 years of grief and worry, I'm determined to open up my eyes and appreciate the wonders of the earth around me. Don't even get me started on how excited I was to witness a robin actually pulling an earthwork out of the ground, and gobbling it down. Again, something that I've just been overlooking.

5. I think many of us are in that boat.

Good for you taking the time to appreciate the beauty in the world that is still there. Something we all,could benefit from doing.
