One year ago we were experiencing a long, cold, snowy winter that just seemed to drag on and on and on with no apparent end in view… so when “On my mind” showed up as one of the Photo A Day Challenge prompts last March, the first thing that popped into my head was, “Well, Spring, of course!” But how is one to photograph Spring when the ground is covered in snow and there’s not a bud in sight?
Not a problem! A dash of creative liberty and some outside-the-box silliness gave me the idea for this picture, which a year later I’m now choosing to recycle for today’s Photo Friday “Spring” challenge prompt.
Photo Friday: Spring
Well, it IS a spring, after all!
Spring always used to mean rain, rain, and more rain to me, so in spite of the blossoms I would never have described it as a favourite time of year. Now that I’ve had a chance to experience a climate with definite season changes, however, I’ve grown to look forward to the coming of Spring with great anticipation. Even if the official start of the season doesn’t feel very Spring-like, to me it’s a symbolic day of joy and hope and anticipation, and I love and celebrate its arrival.
So Happy Friday, Happy Weekend, and Happy Spring!
(And a very Happy Fall/Autumn to those of you in the Southern Hemisphere!)
What’s your favourite season?

My favorite season is spring – when it comes, that is. So far, we don’t have a good start (snow and had to delay a trip because of it). When you live in a climate with a harsh winter, those first spring flowers are so important to your sanity.

Oh, that’s a shame! Our Spring has been rather cloudy so far, but thankfully no snow (yet). Keeping my fingers crossed!

I really liked the spring photo, it was out of the box. It took me a few moments to decipher it. Spring is my favourite season too.

Yes it is! I made it with an app called MomentCam, which is a very fun way to while away the time when you have a few free minutes. 🙂

Love your creative take on the image for spring Laurel! 😉 And cute pic of you in the second! 🙂 My favourite season is Spring for lighter longer days and the greening and budding of the world. It also seems to be a power season for me too! <3

I love your image as it made me think of the one I had seen recently but the spring was “around a corner” literally.

Summer is my favorite season. It always reminds me of vacation. When I think about summer, I think about the beach. Great spring photo by the way, really distinct. Great post!
