Greensboro is one of those typical southern towns that come to life in the spring as the forsythias bloom and fruit trees blossom. Next dogwood trees and azaleas will display their colors. This picture was taken last week from the IHOP parking lot between Battleground and Westover Terrace.
One thing this blog has taught us is that beauty is found where one least expects. The view from the IHOP parking lot is not exactly the most beautiful in Greensboro. Vehicles swoosh by, cars are parked in the Irving Park strip malls, office buildings and Hardee's parking lot are nearby. However, as we waited for traffic to pass and crouched below power lines, this beautiful slice of spring emerged into view. There it was, hiding and waiting for someone to take the time to celebrate it. As a community, we seem to be making an effort to fight for and value our green space. So here's to you, little hideway at the corner of Green Valley and Westover Terrace.
Beautiful! Both the little pocket of nature and your realization. I'm so happy for you! I wish more people would find such joy in little things — there is so much beauty around us, if we only had eyes to see them.
