Saturday Photo: Snow, Tulips and the Resilience of Nature

Snow on Tuesday, which bent the poor tulips over and broke many branches on trees that had already leafed out.

But then the sun came out and, wonderfully, nature rebounded. By this morning all the tulips and daffodils had righted themselves and were looking lovely.

This is the force that through the green fuse drives the flower, as Dylan Thomas said. We forget its power to our peril.
