Spring

Spring. Something so wonderful about it! I have decided lately that instead of worrying with the things I cannot change, I will shoot pictures instead. I had to find a way to push through all the madness! So now anytime I am feeling down, I grab my camera and head outdoors. When I was discouraged on Tuesday, I headed out my front door. There, I found it, Spring. I'm sure I didn't see it before because I was too consumed with stressors of this world, but I have seen it now. Tuesday, I was reminded how much I love Spring and the beauties it brings with it. I thought I would share a few signs of Spring with you as a reminder that love and beauty is all around us no matter how hard this world may seem.

I hope you enjoy...

I had so many beautiful pics of our dogwood tree that I just narrowed it down to a few.

One of my favorite childhood flowers, and such meaning behind each bloom...

Picture a dirt road covered in beautiful azealas on both sides. So big and beautiful they will reach your car as you drive through. That is the beauty found at my childhood home.
For today, I simply see and am reminded of the azealas back home from the few I have now...
Wisteria, needs nothing else but a little rain drop to be absolutley gorgeous...
I've always been intrigued by birds. Today, I am reminded that our Lord, even as much as he loves the birds and takes care of them, he loves me more and all our sadness will pass. I needed this nest today. I needed it to remind me that I am the little bird, and I will grow from this, and one day fly away...just as the little bird... And even though, Spring will pass, I can now face the world again with a better attitude and new found strength for tomorrow. Tomorrow may be a day without the camera.
