the goddesses (and gods) of spring

With Springtime just around the bend, I've been brightening my dour moods by collecting pretty images, entertaining dreams of weaving flower crowns, and eagerly awaiting the first blooms to be pressed for safekeeping.  These ladies (and gents) seem to be the epitome of the season in their flowery finery...
