anticipating the green

The natural world around me is starting to make the gradual transition from browns to greens. It's one of my favorite times of year to observe nature as it slowly emerges from a season of hibernation. It seems like each day brings a little peek into the springtime rituals. Tiny buds on trees, new blades of grass sprouting through the brown ones, and robins searching for worms. I am hyper aware of all these changes and feel myself assessing the progress daily.

This is the time of year when I stop neglecting my camera and start seeing my surroundings in a whole new light. Are you anticipating new spring growth like myself?

The sense of energy which erupts at this time of rebirth in the natural world is simply inspiring, and overwhelmingly invigorating... I'm glad I found you guys to help me focus. Pass me my camera!!!

I love the color and texture of the grasses.

I'm so looking forward to spring and the changing scenery. For now, I just want the very cold breeze to stop!

Our evening walks (my boy and I) consist of searching for signs of spring...crocuses and buds abound!

I'm so hungry for spring I can't tell you. There's still a lot of brown and grey with us but I have spied some new growth recently.

Longing for spring? Oh, yeah - it's been a long, cold and dark winter. Living in the city as I do, I find spring in reflected blue skies and spring fashions in the store front displays, just as much as in nature.

Spring is finally here! The weather is starting to warm, but it hasn't quite warmed up enough to enjoy our evening dinners on the patio. When I think of anticipation this is the scenario that comes to my mind:

Anticipating spring growth brings to mind all the little flowering weeds that appear in the yard. I love the cheerful pastel colors:

The sun has finally arrived! Two days of light, grass surging, blossoms beginning to bulge....but the best part is the arrival of Anna, Allen and Rufus. The muses of spring.

Yes I love the emergence of colors. It makes me so happy!

Yes! the resurgence of color in nature is one of the biggest inspirations for me, this Spring. Also--the longer days make it so I get beautiful light in the evenings. In the winter, I finish dinner and it's already dark out. I'm always happy when I can send my boys (and myself!) out before getting into our nightly routine.

This-- http://flic.kr/p/9puqLY -- has pretty much been our evenings for the past few weeks.

This morning, I mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Correction, I mowed a 1/4 acre of our 5 acres, which is basically the puppy yard. I'm very much excited for spring!
