Always a bright spot
It’s really spring when this bloom opens up.
This year the bush only has one bloom. This peony was here when we moved in 34 years ago. The maple has grown up and is shading it so the plant has gone leggy. I’m trying to root a cutting to check out a new location. It was blooming the day we brought our son home from the hospital when he was born, 32 years ago.

Bright spots on a dim day
I missed a day yesterday so here are two bright spots from this morning’s walk.

A bright spring day
Yesterday was just about perfect. For Becky of Winchester’s Bright Squares…with cherry blossoms for Cee’s Flower of the Day.
Bright morning
Yesterday was a very bright day. For Becky’s Bright Squares and Cee’s Flower of the Day.
Bright blue
In a world of spring pastel blossoms and the bright red/orange/yellow of many tulips this tiny bright blue flower can be overlook, especially when they are in the shade. The sun hit it just so on our mornign walk to make if catch my eye. I’m not sure what it is.

Bright idea
In Cee’s Flower of the Day post she told about “Pink Day”. I’d never heard of it, but it seems like a really bright idea: a day for standing up to bullies. Here is the Wikipedia description of it:
The International Day of Pink is an international anti-bullying event held annually during the second week of April.[1] The event started when students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw another student, who was wearing a pink shirt, being bullied in their Central Kings Rural High School in Nova Scotia, Canada, and deciding to show support for the student by getting everyone at their school to wear pink the following day.
Wikipedia
The initiative inspired youth at Jer’s Vision who founded The International Day of Pink, an effort to support their peers internationally with resources and ways to make their schools safer.
So, in honor of the International Day of Pink, here is a bright pink rhodie, hit by a bright sunbeam.
