This particular force of nature has put a crimp in my photography.

Gravity wasn’t my friend when I stepped off a porch step while I was sweeping it.  I heard the bone break, so that particular force of nature, although not loud enough for most to hear, wasn’t so quiet from my perspective.

Conversely, my yard is full of whispers as buds unfurl and tightly budded flowers patiently wait to open.

Until I can put weight on this foot again, I’ll have to be content with watching the silent arrival of spring outside my window.

Although, I do have to confess to hobbling outdoors to grab these shots today.  I mean, really, how does a person not walk for an entire three weeks?!
