More Spring Adventures

I love a good adventure. Finding a new park to check out and explore. The surprise of not knowing what I'll find once I arrive and anticipating at least a few neat shots. So come explore some of the new places I've been to over the last few weeks with me!

For me, there's nothing more relaxing than a walk in the woods or a visit to a lake. After the long New England Winter it's really nice to have the warmer weather back!

Can you feel the soft grass beneath your bare feet? The sun kissing your skin? There's just something about dandelions that make it feel like Summer's coming.

And the Ladyslipper orchids are blooming, they're New Hampshire's state flower and endangered. Don't pick them if you see them out in the wild. Once plucked, it will never grow back.

These little beauties are one of the reason I always look down! You never know what hidden jewels you're walking past or walking on.

I love finding a great spot and bringing a pic-nic. Eating al fresco always makes a meal more fun.

Especially with the smell of lilacs dancing on the breeze!

And pretty pink petals slowly falling to the ground like snow.

I've seen so many colorful tulips, but I thought this painted tulip was really unique!

An absolutely perfect spot to sit and enjoy the great outdoors for awhile.... Just soaking in the Spring. Because before you know it, Summer will be here!

So take a deep breath and blow away your worries. Have fun, just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't still play!!

Signs of Spring

Spring is arriving here in New England. One of my favorite times of the year here. New leaves, the smell of grass in the air, and the first bright blossoms begin to bloom!

A crocus pushes through the dried grass, and Autumn's crunchy leaves.

And then explodes to show us the bright yellow hiding inside.

Daffodils shine like sunshine. Even on a cloudy day.

Pink tulips opening their petals to let in the sun.

And try to entice bumblebees!

Rhodedendron bushes after a rain. Each little cluster of flowers was about the size of a half dollar.

And all around are tiny signs of life stirring. I found these little guys in front of my bank! One of the reasons I take my camera wherever I go, is because I enjoy finding something interesting to take a photo of! You never know when you'll see deer on the side of the road, or pretty flowers growing in front of your bank.

A weeping cherry tree is covered in pretty white flowers.

And a Weeping Willow starts to sprout leaves. I hope that I have encouraged you to find some signs of Spring in your own neighborhoods! As always, capture every moment. Find beauty where others may not. And always bring your camera!
