22 “While the Earth remains,

Seedtime and harvest,

Cold and heat,

Summer and winter,

And day and night

Shall not cease. "

Psalm 74 : 16 - 17

16 " The day is yours, and yours also the night;

you established the Sun and Moon.

17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the Earth;

you made both summer and winter."

Psalm 147 : 15 - 18 

15 " He sends his command to the earth;

His word runs swiftly.

16 He spreads the snow like wool

and scatters the frost like ashes.

17 He hurls down His hail like pebbles.

Who can withstand His icy blast?

18 He sends his word and melts them;

He stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow."

............................................

As you look at the following photos , please remember that " Mother Nature " , 

" Mother Earth " ,  and "Nature" did NOT create what God alone created .  

Nehemiah 9:6
" You alone are the LORD. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all things, and the host of heaven worships You. "

One of the ultimate Spring time symbols , the Tulip !

The Tulip is the flower of the year for 2022 , so enjoy !

................................

What a beautiful blue on these spring time flowers !

I believe one of the names that this plant goes by is Liver Flower ..... which certainly belies its beauty.

...................................................

                             And one more symbol of Spring , the Ornamental Cherry Blossom !

Flowering trees , regardless of what type they are , truly bring a unique beauty to Spring that cannot be matched at other times of the year.  As with any season , Spring has a melding of other seasons that peaks in and out , but it prevails eventually.  :)

Enjoy God's creation by taking good care of it , always !

May God , the Creator , bless you  -  every season .  :)

Here's some interesting TRIVIA via Wikipedia :

The state of Rhode Island was one of the thirteen original colonies that helped to establish 

the USA.

" On May 4, 1776, the Colony of Rhode Island was the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown . "

" The state boycotted the 1787 convention which drew up the United States Constitution^[12] and initially refused to ratify it;^[13] it was the last of the original 13 states to do so on May 29, 1790. " ^[14][15] 

Rhode Island , aka " The Ocean State ", has exemplified their unique history

on its official state flag . It bears thirteen gold stars , along with an anchor and the word " Hope ".

News story : 

" In 2013, the "Lots of Hope" program was established in the City of Providence to focus on increasing the city's green space and local food production, improve urban neighborhoods, promote healthy lifestyles and improve environmental sustainability. "Lots of Hope", supported by a $100,000 grant, will partner with the City of Providence, the Southside Community Land Trust and the Rhode Island Foundation to convert city-owned vacant lots into productive urban farms." ^[125]
