likeniobe:

I hereby propose: the dark spring aesthetic

bright green budding trees against a backdrop of heavy storm clouds; daffodils dripping with rainwater

songbirds singing before the sun has fully risen

cherry blossom petals fallen on asphalt, crushed by footprints and tire tracks

opening the window on a sunny afternoon expecting warmth but instead being met by a cold thawing stillness

impossibly purple crocuses, a deep saturated violet
