~Shine On~


Shine On

A promise of spring
stirs clouded passion
RENEWAL AWAITS


An impromptu jaunt on Wednesday led me to some fanciful discoveries.
After a stressful day at work all I wanted to do was decompress.
I concluded that a photowalk would do the trick.

I was pleasantly surprised to find some early blossoms!
This unexpected fortune instantly washed away what I had brought home with me.

I hope to find more of these moments this weekend, and I hope you do, too :o)

    Very pretty!

    Every time we get close to that Spring Feeling -- it snows again. I hate March.

    Sometimes a nice walk alone at a park is just the kind of calming that a person needs!

    Beautiful photo as always!
