I know we’re a week into spring,
but I want to say a proper goodbye to winter.

Adrift in Winter by Tom Hennen

All anyone wants to know is when spring will get here. To hell with dripping icicles, cold blue snow, silly birds too dumb to go south, and sunlight gleaming off rock-hard snowflakes. I’m sick of breathing air sharp as razor blades. I’m tired of feet as hard to move as two buildings. I refuse to be seduced by the pine tree blocking my path. Even though…just now, look how it moves, its needles rubbing the sky-blue day. The glow it has around its entire body. How perfectly it stands in the snowdrift. The way both our shadows cross the noon hour at once, like wings. 

I’ve spent waaay too much time gawking on this photo site: Flashbak “Everything old is new again.” 

I hunt and gather copyright free photos to use for reference photos at these sites – Pixabay, Free Images, Unsplash, Pexels, and the Sktchy app.

Side note: I just noticed that Sktchy has a month long challenge of painting a watercolor portrait every day in April. Although it looks awesome, I won’t be taking the class, but maybe it’s something you’d like to do? 

And, a small handful of inspiring photographers I follow on Twitter: LesMotsBleus, Mix Tape, pastel papi (she loves pink as much as I do), Camera Lab, Paname Paris, Taksh, Carmela Donna Fugata

Watching: Mother Sela – Artist and Buddhist Nun – how sad it was to see the similarities in the photos between the Lebanon war, and Ukraine. Still, this is a beautiful documentary, and I highly recommend watching it.
