Bare branches, beautiful blooms.  Whispers of sunshine followed by blankets of snow.  Warm balmy days, delicate smells and glorious new color all coming and going in an uncertain trail of days.

Spring is a season of contrasts. Mostly sweet, mostly charming.

Today I am drawn to the contrast of warm and cool.  Tart raspberry pink, sweet strawberry red, or tangy apricot orange nestled so comfortably, somehow, amongst cold steel gray, shadowy teal or icy aqua blue.

Just as warm and cool fronts collide to make magic that shakes up our lives and turns plans on their heads, so these hot reds and pinks sing a sweet contrary note when paired with cool grays and blues.

And then for those days that aren't so sweet, but quite a lot more spicy - - - try oranges with all our cool friends for a tangy contrary instead!
