Color Changes

The cherries, what a delight to witness their subtle variations of pink and rose and almost-red. Perhaps it’s a good preparation for the lilacs and their colors.

As much as I’ve enjoyed the cherry blossoms, I’m captured by their slow transition into their full summer regalia. As their blossoms fade, their yellow-green leaves begin to grow and we are given a much more complex symphony of colors.

These colors work well together. Indeed, for me at least, the more colors working together, the more complex the resulting image. I like this diversity, there’s nothing to be frightened of; challenging yourself can be worthwhile.

In nature, and in art, and in our public life, we are enriched by complexity and diversity. Maybe we’ll find some leaders who can see that.
