I was enjoying the sunshine earlier this week, sitting in my little garden, looking at the roses starting to bloom, watching a large bee careen from flower to flower when I thought of a good theme for this week’s CREATE thread – Seasonal Change.
Even while looking out my windows I am noticing the change. There is far more bright green foliage near my window thus creating a shorter vista. Even my cats Rik and Lola are less inclined to lounge in their plush beds and more likely to sprawl on a thin carpet near the open window (with double window screens for safety, of course.).
Please add your observations and pictures, videos and thoughts on the topic of Seasonal Change, or email me (frida@artyardbklyn.org) and I will add them to the thread for you.
Here are the roses!
Vera Tineo sends in this very bucolic looking image from her walk this week in near by Forest Park in Queens!
@veratineo This park is aptly named! It really looks like the perfect refuge for this crazy time!
Quentin Williamston sends over this lovely quartet of seasonal change here in Clinton Hill!
@quentinwilliamston I particularly love that vibrant green of the leaves unfurling. Chartreuse, I suppose.
And I have plugged in my fan!
Fatima Traore just send over this FANTASTIC image for this thread....
@ftraore16 Fatima, this photograph is perfect!!!
Pamala Talese is changing over her hat collection for the warmer weather!

Figureworks Gallery Director Randall Harris sends this excellent series of the gallery's back garden (winter, spring and summer) & street out front (autumn) during a variety of seasons!
This week our friend Catherine de Zagon moved from the Rome vicinity to the the mountains in Abruzzo. She finally has (as the Italians call it) weeefeee and was able to text over some seasonal photos!
Catherine's photos got me thinking...I've been in Rome for this Season almost every year for well over a decade!
For nostalgia sake, here are some Roman Spring views:
Central Park clover is greener than ever this year
@Dennis Buonagura Do you ever find 4 leaf clovers? My father's brother Carol was able to find them in abundance. He would pick me a bouquet of 4 and sometimes even 5 leaf clovers when ever we were near a patch of clover!
I, however, have not ever even once found one.
@Meridith McNeal maybe a few times about a hundred years ago but never get up close to them these days
@Dennis Buonagura I am impressed you have found a FEW!
Felix Plaza sent over these beautiful pieces for this topic.
