I am...

I am very excited for Spring! This post is for Inspire Me Thursday, and I couldn't quite focus on what I am... Right now, I am just overly excited to see the signs of nature coming back to life. I walk looking up at the trees, glancing down into the flower beds every so often in the hopes of seeing a new Spring bloom. I can't stop looking, imagining, dreaming. Soon it will be here, and I will be happy!

I know it's Spring, somewhere, even if it's not quite turning here. I see the pictures throughout the blogs I follow and the flickr pictures posted (like here, here, and here). We have only small signs. This lovely tree, an avenue up, is one of the first to start shooing winter away and making way for Spring.


I first saw these beauties on Saturday, but the sun was falling behind the buildings and the natural light wasn't there to really make my pictures great. I watched for the sun to get in the perfect position and share the natural lighting for a few pictures. Oh and be on the watch for this flowering tree again later this week. I have a great Flare Friday shot!
