"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

 

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

[Today I woke up in not the best of moods, which is honestly a rarity for me. When I realized it was the first day of spring, and the wind was whipping about outside, I decided to alter my day and spend my lunch break shooting. I rushed home with my trusty companion Scott, grabbed a change of clothes, and rushed back to a blossoming tree near my workplace. Just as we approached the tree to set up the shot, it started *pouring*. And not just rain--hail, too. Oddly, it transformed my mood. All I could do was laugh, as Murphy's Law so readily made itself known. And as Scott and I quickly shot while getting thoroughly soaked by the sudden downpour, I was reminded of life, and living, and why it matters.]
