You Capture: Spring
Posted by Jenna in photography on April 20, 2011
Yesterday and today were complete washes due to the crazy-unpredictable-but-kinda-predictable weather that is spring. However, I did get some great spring photos this weekend, including a few that I really foresee being framed in my house sometime soon!

I almost blew off of a ladder to stay far enough away from this nest but still get a shot of the eggs. My mother-in-law held me in place. I’m sure we looked hilarious.

I came across these in the wild while geocaching with my husband.

Blooms at my mother-in-law’s house again.

Magnolias = spring for me. They remind me of The Farm and my grandmother.
The theme this week for Beth’s You Capture was, obviously, Spring. I enjoyed challenging myself to get out a few times last week and this weekend to take these photos. It’s really been beautiful — until the past two days! Next week’s theme is pink — which makes me think of more magnolias, my apple tree which should be in bloom on my birthday and the Munchkin whom I’ll be seeing! Hooray!

There is a rhythm to the seasons, and it is a rhythm that requires some ad-libbing; an impromptu reaction is required at times. Sometimes spring is ready but winter isn’t done; they march together, a dance that we don’t always recognize or appreciate until we realize one is done and the other is already speeding by.

I walked home from the gym yesterday afternoon. (Why yes, I had my camera with me. Thanks for asking!) I got some great shots of ducks and other Spring-is-coming feel good things. This guy was the most difficult to shoot because he kept ducking under the water to find something to eat.
Also, parents, please teach your children not to be total jackwagons to adults. I had a group of tweens follow me and shout obnoxious things at me while I was trying to take photos. Nothing overly rude or nasty, but it’s quite rude to bother people. And unsafe. What if I was some scary person! For Pete’s sake.
