Under Lockdown - a Period of Growth

Melbourne has just come out of a period of extended lockdown. This has been challenging for Melburnians on a number of fronts. The relative isolation impacts people differently. I witnessed a period of growth during the period.

It was Spring. A bud emerged one day. A green bud. Some days later the bud flourished into a burst of greenery. As the days progressed the bud flourished, opening further, with mature leaves.

Let us celebrate the joy of growth. … And the appreciation of small things. And nature.
