When on my run this morning, I smelled spring. The air was full of a variety of different fragrances and I wanted to bottle it to last forever. I took deep breaths and closed my eyes and enjoyed the smell of new growth. This inspired me to take photos of the bird's nest in the back yard and the flowers that adorn my small lot of land. So in these sweaty endorphin-filled moments, I carried the ladder to the various places in my yard and took photos. The Nikon D40 did a fabulous job of saving the detail and making me smile.
Isabella and I are the mommies to baby birds. These birds are not even small enough to move, and the only reason I know they are alive is that I can watch their tiny bodies move up and down when they breathe. We are on a near-daily watch for their eyes to open and eventually make noise...we notice progress with this every day. The lilacs on the south west corner of my house fill the backyard with the great scent of spring, and the tree that is blooming in the backyard blooms gorgeous clumps of fuchsia-colored flowers. Home Depot is my friend. I have purchased perennials and annuals (lavender daisies are perfect for the space under my tree in the front yard.) I love this time of year..
..even if it does make me sneeze.
