These are times out of time for the natural world.
–––
As the seasons become ever more unpredictable, so nature seeks to respond.
Here on this Hawthorn it would appear that spring in winter has arrived.
The May blossom gracefully juxtaposes the blood red berries of late autumn and proposes great beauty, in spite of and perhaps in response to the changes we are making to the Earths weather systems.
Is this an evolutionary leap I wonder, or a perhaps a desperate attempt to set seed prior to even greater change?
While the answer may remain hidden, nature herself is sending us messages, I wonder who is listening.
