It’s Spring and one of my  absolute favorite times of the year.  I love that the days are finally getting longer…and a bit warmer…birds are beginning to sing again…and the flowers are coming to life.  The newness promised in this season. So who could resist a Floral Still Life contest?  Not me.  I decided to enter Rock The Shot March contest “Floral Still Life.”  I love this image for many reasons but mostly it just looks refreshing and inviting to me. It makes me want to step back and take a moment to sit and look at the beauty that is around me and perhaps even enjoy a piece of mouth watering watermelon.

Want to be inspired?  Head on over to www.rocktheshotforum.com and see all the wonderful images other photographers have entered in the contest and while you’re there leave a little love.

Wish me luck!

March 20th…first day of Spring!  Really?  Somehow it just doesn’t feel like it here in Connecticut.  I look out my office window and see a fresh blanket of snow covering the ground.  As beautiful as it is…I’m ready for these little crocuses to pop up and show me it’s really Spring.  Easter is only a week away and it’s always nice to see a few flowers outside.  I don’t think so this year.

I will just have to take the alternative and fill our home with lovely yellow daffodils and red tulips and then it will feel like Spring…and then it will feel like Easter time.  I wish you a happy 1st day of Spring!  Go out and treat yourself to a special Spring bouquet or daffodils from your local grocery store…you deserve it!
