Spring Doujinshi

Spring is here. My favourite season. Persephone returns to Earth after a harrowing winter! Days are getting longer. Sunlight lingers! Yahoo ~

The first signs of spring - crab apple tree blossoms, heralding her return! The entire trees are drenched in sugary pink buds ...

The ground is carpetted in red and gold, stretched to the horizon .... (as much as the local council can spare, hehe..) Persephone shall come back in style.

Ditzy yellow tulips dancing in the wind; waving frilly laces; fragrance of the spring

After the quiet, solemn cold season, colours shall adorn the earth again. Dazzle dazzle. Celebrations.

"No more pomegranate seeds for you again", says Demeter. "You can have these little golden jewels instead for the time being."

And so, the Earth fluorished in striking, festive colours. The grass is green, the skies are blue, crocuses and dandelions in various hues.

What a feast for the eyes & senses.

Persephone has a curfew after all, so Mother and Daughter set to work immediately. Plants awoke and send their seeds swirling. Pollen grains akin to stars in the blue galaxy. hay fever chaos ...

Infant flower asks, "Where did I come from?"

"A bee brought you"

A bee brought you indeed

Spring is also a season of weddings - more coincidence? Spring a blatant reminder for procreation? Discuss.

hallucinogenic orange mushrooms

how do I know they are hallucinogenic? Maybe Persephone takes them when she goes back to see Hades (because he is such a bore).

Regardless, Spring will come and go, as ageless & timeless as Persephone herself.

This doujinshi is published, plaigiarising a Greek myth of Persephone. Please take it with a tablespoon of Palladio. This is my first half-hearted attempt at a doujinshi using actual photo images. Especially the bumblebee images - I think they feel like a bit of manga. Actually this was more to protray the Spring.
