Today was the first really gorgeous day of spring. The sunlight and warmer temperatures brought out the contrast of this hawthorn, still hanging on to the berries of last summer even as buds of new leaves begin to form. Soon these berries will be offset against white blossoms, reminiscent of drops of blood on snow. I suppose it is comforting to know that a heart tonic like hawthorn is available all year round, an exception to prove the rule.
