Jill poses another of her monthly challenges so I am happy to try.
Showers and flowers, well I could say it's due to the Earth's tilt and gyroscopes and chaos theory in weather and where you live in the world, but I won't. I will do this...
------------
It is at this time, when winter loses its grip and the slowly 
increasing warmth from the Sun releases moisture to the soil. Somewhere is a niche at a woodland edge or in the shade of nothing but trunk and bare branch. There, beneath the soil, rest fortunes for the future.
There is but little time. Soon the canopy above will burst forth in green, greedily stealing the life giving rays of the Sun. Here it comes, a poke of green, sucking in energy. Bursting with one desire. Reproduce.
Stored within itself, as it hid under the snow, there are now few rations left, but enough to try.
A point of beauty claims the sky and shouts to the entire world...
Love me.

Just lovely! And very true about those trees and how they hog the sun's rays when in full bloom. Now is the time for those little guys to poke their heads up and say "aaah"....
Thanks for taking the challenge and I will now go link you up. (and two entries for you, sir!)
Now that is a strong contender Andy; good work.
Many thanks. I had been thinking in a totally different way and then it all spilled out in 5 minutes.
As I got the challenge logo I thought "I'm sure Jill has posted something similar to this. I'll have a look, it could be fun if I can link them somehow".
Then I clicked 'Publish' instead of 'Save' so I didn't get the chance, oops :)
I've decided I'm not going to take my own challenges anymore since they are connected to prizes. I'm leaving all the fun to you guys! :-)
You have raised the bar indeed.. beautiful post. And, quite a nice picture as well
I love bluebells. There's a small wood up the road which will be turning blue in just a week or two.
My hubby loves bluebells as well...once we tried growing them here in the states, but no go.
very nice post. thank you. ♥
Thank you Lynn.

Cheers Barbara. The flower is a bluebell, click the image for more info.
