SPRING HAS SPRUNG

When in the early morning the sun hides behind the mountain, 
the air is fresh and feels new.
That's the time to get in the car and drive up the hills which face the mountain, there to park the car, shoulder all your camera gear and start walking. 
After a while you first feel and then you catch the first glimpse of the sun, peeking from behind the Mountain.
The snow fields of the "Petzen" (the bear) start to glisten like jewels. They are too brilliant to keep your eyes open without squinting.
Up there it is still cold and wintry. Beautiful, they say, 
for Spring Skiing.
But down here, atop the rolling hills, spring has arrived and there is no denying it.
It is so warm that you take off your coat and walk on in shirt sleeves, which you soon roll up to above your elbows.
And then you come to this bush:
Choking with blossoms
and the butterflies
have discovered it
before you.
