Spring is such a glorious time of year! Color oozes from
every nook and cranny. Life bursts forth from what was seemingly dead. And hope
abounds.
As I drink in the joy of spring, I ponder the changes each
day brings….new growth, warming temperatures, increasing light, and a return of
color. These changes are so positive and seemingly effortless. Often, after
just a little shower of rain, the leaves are budding and the flowers are
blooming. It’s almost as if all they
needed was just one small drop of water as an excuse to spring forth!
But spring can also be a hectic time of year. School is
drawing to a close with all its many and various activities, sports teams begin
new seasons, taxes are due (don’t forget to send them by Monday!), and of course, cleaning
must be accomplished! Amid all the busyness, it’s easy to overlook the
details and beauty of your ever-changing surroundings.
Instead, I hope you’ve been encouraged by many of the posts
this month to stop, take a moment for yourself and enjoy the beauty of spring. Sit
outside and enjoy your morning coffee. Find an excuse to listen to the birds
sing. Or grab a friend and go on a photo walk! You’ll be glad you did.

Isn't it marvelous how springtime makes our photography hearts sing? I can't get any housework done because at every turn I see new flowers, new buds, fabulous light. Thanks for giving me permission to pursue this beauty! (As if I needed it.):-D
Wonderful to see spring here isn't it... Well it is hard to believe that it has just snowed quite a few places. This is a lovely spring shot!
I can't get enough of all the spring beauty around me that is just begging for me to capture it with my camera! I have decided that this time of year is so short and before I know it the heat of summer will keep me indoors, so everything on my to-do list will wait until then. In the meantime, I'm drinking in all the spring I can. Love your shot of the brilliant blue sky and the blooming tree!
Such a lovely post. I too have been outside more with my camera. This time is fleeting. We must make the most of it.
such a lovely reminder to stop and breathe in this most beautiful of seasons.
