Springtime

The sun reflects off the ripples of the water’s surface as the water calmly moves back and forth across the pool. The sound of the water rippling can be heard above the sparrows chirping in the trees. The water looks cool and inviting, the sun beating down hot upon the land makes it even more so. The trees, mainly palms and ferns flow gently in the light afternoon breeze. It is a warm breeze, and almost non-existent but if you were wet you would most certainly feel it.
It is spring and the flowers are all approaching full bloom, their scents are over powering as they all combine in the breeze. Taken in individually they are all sweet and potent and alluring, but on mass they can be quite over bearing. They bring the bees, not as many as in past years but enough to pollinate the plants and help the fruits grow.
The sun is so bright that the gnomes poking their heads out from behind the shrubs have their faces obscured by the brightness of the suns light, they appear as a mass of white. It is not that hot a day, only around 27 degrees, but the brightness of the sun deceives you into thinking that it is hot enough for a swim. It is not until you lower your foot into the water and the chill of its iciness runs up your entire body that you realise it is not quite yet swimming weather. It is almost time, and you are happy to wait, sit down and enjoy the spring.
