You Capture: Spring

I love spring. I'm fairly certain I've said this about eleven billion times, but I do. I love spring. If I could marry spring, I would.

While on the March of Dimes walk, I captured a lot of gorgeous spring pictures. And then baby Godzilla unleashed himself on my laptop, where I had, sadly, uploaded the photos and then deleted from my camera. Luckily, my husband recently acquired a laptop, so I was able to steal his while anxiously awaiting a replacement power cord for my laptop! Technology. It's wonderful (and confusing, if you're my husband), but kind of annoying in its breakability.

ANYWAY, I did manage to snap some pictures that are very, very spring to me. In the field behind our house, there is a ditch that has three lilac bushes growing in it. They're very big and since no one really lives by them, I consider them fair game for flower cutting. Cutting the flowers is a little treacherous since it's pretty overgrown and I, of course, wear flip flops to do it, but it's worth it for all the flowers I can put in glass vases around the house.

Aside from cropping, this next one is SOOC. Isn't it lovely what the spring sunshine can do?

And finally, this photo represents spring because after months of spending every night inside, we finally get to go outside and play at the park every night after dinner. We're all thankful for this, but no one is as thankful for the warmth that spring brings as Luke!

Ok, so. You can marry spring ONLY if I don't beat you to it.

Lilacs are my faaaaavorite! I am so jealous!

I love that SOOC shot of the lilacs! And I'm jealous your lilacs are out already! We probably have a couple more weeks to wait. But they're worth it!

Oh the lilacs are gorgeous! And time at the park is da bomb (yes, I'm a dork for saying that but oh well...) ;) Happy SPRING!

Bec said...

Lilacs have eluded me this spring and I miss their smell!

Kristen said...

How do you keep lilacs alive in a vase? I love them too but they always wilt so fast for me. Maybe I'm cutting them wrong?

Great Captures!

Those are some wonderful shots of the lilacs! I've never really seen lilacs before but I think I'm in love with them just from looking at your photos! Great shots this week! I love your Spring :)

I LOVE Lilacs in vases sitting around the house when I can go steal/borrow a twig or two from a lonely bush somewhere. Beautiful Spring Captures!

I need to find a place to live, that has a creek. I have a nasty ditch, i think I'll check it for beautiful purple flowers. Just in case, you know?
