Yes, it's raining, and I wanted it to be sunny to take pictures with these beautiful trees and their white spring blossoms on our local lake as a backdrop. But does that mean I'm stuck indoors? Of course not -- I just found other ways to enjoy what I was given. Like the cozy sensation of listening to the gentle patter of raindrops on the fabric of the umbrella right over my head. The rust-orange pants and leopard shoes definitely livened up this grey day. And no bad weather is going to get through my sweater wrap and dampen my spirits! The sun may be hidden, but my sunny outlook won't be "rained out." It just goes to show that a beautiful day is really just a state of mind, isn't it? =)

Is it springtime yet? I can't wait -- it's soooooo close! Okay, maybe it IS a bit too early to break out the bright reds and blues and greens; just color me grey. But I'm not completely giving in to the idea that it's still winter and I have to dress like it. Let's break out something cute, like the little skirt or the suede boots. Or how about both? A sweater instead of a coat, too; why only go half-way? If you're having enough fun, the party comes to you...so maybe I can tempt spring into starting early after all! =)

The world wants you to act like "an adult" all the time...but where's the fun in that?? Never lose the kid in you -- that's where all your enthusiasm and sense of wonder comes from. Go with the pink pants and the cute shoes and the funny tote. Wear your hair in a ponytail. Splash a little bright color around with your accessories. (I love this scarf for that very reason!) Do a little running around and playing. Who deserves to have a little fun more than you?? The little kid inside me loves to get out in the fresh air every now and then. I just have to make sure she comes home in time for supper! =)

It's the beginning of spring, the trees are beginning to bud again, and it's a bright sunny day; there's no need to rush in out of the cold today! Days like this are Mother Nature's way of reminding you to take the light tops and skirts out of their winter storage, and to go back to wearing boots that you wouldn't use for tromping through the snow. Okay, maybe the breeze is a little cool, but it's no match for a good cable-knit sweater...especially not one that's as bright and sunny as the great outdoors. Too busy to enjoy a day like this? Then slow down! =)

These photos were taken in spring of 2009. On this particular morning,
the sun beckoned, the day was warm and clear and the colors of nature had a glow to them -- who would ignore an invitation like that? I was especially happy to slip into "non-winter" boots and a light, breezy dress for a change. This is why everybody loves the springtime. My husband the part-time photographer understood the magnetic pull this morning had on me, and captured both the moments and the mood in beautifully-framed pictures.
