march 15th - 21st....SPRING!!!

march 15th....21st


Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
~Rainer Maria Rilke



more beautiful sunny warm days. though i ended up spending two of them indoors due to illness (ugh). but  it seems winter is over....temperatures dropping and soaring with no sensible rhythm.

i am in awe of the budding nature of spring.  everything is so alive and bursting forth with life and color.   more determined than ever, to learn how to use my camera, i've been taking countless pictures of bushes, trees, flowers and bulbs. out of hundreds of shots, only a few actually turn out decently.   i'm yes, patience is another aspect of learning that i am embracing....we have to be willing to make mistakes, to look foolish, to not know how to do something.  in order to  actually learn new skills we must take the risk.  maintaining a beginners, or student mind set is the ticket.  i've decided with this entry, not dividing things by day...this is my week in pictures.
