Happy Spring!

I spend a lot of time in nature; I so enjoy the beauty of nature’s transformation, speaking to me in soft whispers and in some cases bold declarations. She calls on me to gaze in awe at her splendor. I am enticed by her beauty; in fact I adore her, idolize her, and even court her. As the seasons change this transformational beauty seduces all of my senses offering me a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to me her brash power through a storm at sea. This beauty calms me with floral scents and excites my aural lust through the passionate sounds performed by her orchestra.

Many times I try to capture this beauty’s essence in a photograph or painting, and still she is nowhere to be found. I suspect nature’s beauty will forever inspire works of art for many, and she will always pose for her portrait, seemingly selecting the artists most worthy of her catching her likeness…..smiling. I’m not a very good photographer or painter for that matter; I do however hold these images in my memories.

My memories relay to me that depending on personal tastes, nature’s beauty can be found in every color, flavor, scent, and texture. She lives among the poor, as well as the rich, she is at home in the city, as well as the country, decorating skylines as well as landscapes.

Nature is the ultimate shape shifter, transforming into a weather beaten barn beloved by someone and an awesome testament of ancient architecture revered by another. Her beauty knows no bounds, and we can find her everywhere. All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there. 
“Happy Spring” my friends……may blessings of happiness and joy be with you.
