warmth

As my camera and I come out of a winter hibernation and make our way outdoors, the warmth of the sun is like a magnet for my lens. I find my self ooohing and aaahing over the sparkly light of the golden hour right before sunset. It's so refreshing to get out with my camera these days and explore the new life and growth that spring has to offer. I get such a burst of creative energy each spring and I'm excited to see where it might take me this time around.

What's got you feeling energized these days?

What a great question! What's energizing me these days is what is growing in my garden. This "volunteer" has popped up alongside my driveway. It makes me smile as I drive in and out each morning:

After staying close to home for quite some time, a change of scenery has me energized this week. :-) http://instamaticgratification.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/93366/

It's spring - sunlight, sparkle and new growth - all the way for me as well :) I love this season more and more each year.

Slowly more and more birds are returning to our feeders. They make me smile, wildlife always energizes me.

Well being in the southern hemisphere, we're in autumn now so a lovely, fresh burst of rain the other day inspired me to look out the window while at my desk and see this rainbow (a flock of birds was flying by just as I took the shot!):
