    i can’t imagine what would happen if the rivers ever stopped running. Fresh and clean is what spring brings. Nicely done!

    Nice imagery. Spring can lurk as much as it wants.

    I love this, Eugi! “Lurking” is a cool word to attach to spring, like it is hiding, just waiting to make its move. Wonderful
