nothing gold can stay

The tulip tree, in full bloom... 


This tree and its blooms just make me crazy happy. 




The blossoms only last a few days, sometimes a week. 
And a strong breeze, or a spring rain will bring them all to the ground.  


But for a brief moment, it is glorious. 


"Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
-- Robert Frost
