After the storm

Deja vu.

This weeks You Capture assignment is "Spring". Again. Just like last week.

Beth said, "TRY HARDER! What does Spring really mean to you?".

What does Spring really mean to me?

Woodticks.

Try again?

Okay. How about the magical beauty that follows an evening Spring storm?


When everything is saturated with rich blue and green colors.


The wet grass soaks through my shoes.


Some of my very favorite things come out to play. I can't keep my hands off them.


I almost forgot! My new header photo was taken that same evening. The plums are flowering! Mmmmmm....

Oh wow..
My most favorite thing in the whole world is that after storm feeling, how everything is calm and everything is fresh, dewy and sprinkled with leftovers of storm.
I think, you captured it beautifully, and I am quickly becoming one of your biggest fans. good work sister.

Yes, I love storms- feeling in the air before a storm, the wind and power during a storm, and the freshness that comes after a storm. Your shot captures it perfectly!
And I'm loving the wet grass shot- so wonderfully sharp!

I love spring storms, and we get a lot around here. I sleep better to the sound of rain than anything else.

I thought I was drooling over the first picture of the sky and then I saw your perfect, attention to detail ground pictures and I swooned. You and I wouldn't be able to take a walk together because we'd both be looking down rather than where we are going LOL :)
