Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.....

......that spring is just around the corner!

 

OK, the signs might not be everywhere or as many as we'd like; but. if we look closely we can find a few. This is a macro of a viburnum bud on a bush beside my deck. These buds will take awhile to open. It will be worth the wait. In full bloom the bush smells divine.

 

This week's song for  Kathy's Song-ography is Signs by the Five Man Electrical Band. It's an old song from the 1970's and of my youth. It was one of my favorites back in my college days.  Its message is of intolerance and exclusion and the frustration with the authoritative symbols employed by governments, institutions and religion. In short, conform or pay the price.
Obeying traffic laws and respecting other's property is following social norms. It's how a society functions. Most of us do it without thinking. Shouldn't we question the validity of the norms and how it relates to us as individuals? I think we probably should. Heavy stuff and just as relevant today as it was then.

Marching to my own drum today and using one line of lyrics clearly out of context with the song to share my sign of spring with you. Hope you enjoy!
