Spring is in full bloom. Everywhere I look, I see new growth and new life. All I want to do is be outdoors and watch it all happen, but I couldn't possibly see everything. It's intoxicating and a bit overwhelming. I'm so afraid I'll miss something.
Like the Elizabeth Magnolia that I'm so obsessed with... I went to the park one day and saw that it was beginning to bloom. So I came back a few days later, and it had bloomed a bit but not fully. I came back three days later, and the blooms were gone. It bloomed, and the wind carried the flowers away. Just like that, it was gone. I suppose there was one perfect day where the magnolia was at its peak, but I missed it.
Maybe that's why Spring is so magical.

With Summer finally here in the Northwest, spring seemed so long ago. Hope the nice weather sticks around a bit.
C&C's Welcome. Thanks for Looking
This scene immediately caught my eye as I was about to enter the car park at Roma Street Parkland. On display are a wonderful selection of plants. A nice way to kickstart my day's outing.
This was taken one spring evening as a storm blew over our subdivision right at sunset. I saw this cloud take shape and move, allowing the sunset to color it. I rushed in to get my camera because I was amazed at the way this cloud dwarfed all the huge homes and trees which are seen in the foreground.

Today is officially the first day of spring, and though my calendar now indicates as much, the howling winds which blew me through every alley of the city disagree. I do live in the northeast after all, so I should at least be thankful that it is not snowing. :-) Today I have a photograph for you which I almost did not take. But alas, I braved the cold and managed to put my frostbitten fingers to good use in order to setup the tripod for one last shot - which as it turns out, is now my favorite of the set.
This shot was taken near the Christian Science center in downtown Boston. In every season save winter, there is a beautiful fountain filled with water in the center of the courtyard, but today it is filled with snow. Luckily you can barely see it in the picture! Aside from that, I thought this perspective was cool, and I think the colors and tones came out pretty nice considering the time of year. I just wish the sky had more going on... maybe I'll add some clouds ;-)
Spring's beauty lies in more than its instantaneous realization. In waiting, its colors grow more vivid, its smells more potent. If spring were to arrive in an instant, that instant would mar the sensations that we cherish so much. A beautiful bloom would become just a bunch of flowers, the sublime smell of pollen would become the cause of our allergies, and perhaps worst of all, we would not get to watch the snow melt into the sunset as we revel in the landing of spring. I am a patient man, and though today may be the first day of spring, and tomorrow the next, I will wait many more until she softly touches down into my arms once again.
A balmy day today in Vancouver, at least 11C, warmer away from the water. Discovered some lovely Spring blooms on a walk at Deer Lake park in Burnaby.
This natural frame caught my eye for the composition
It's got a kinda chocolate box feel to it and shows the true measure of spring and new life .
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. What was really cool was seeing the rainbow disperson of white light by the optical prisms.
