Spring has sprung!

Spring has to be my favorite time of year. I love the freshness that comes with the budding leaves, the emerging flowers, the greening of the grass. I enjoy wandering around with my camera and capturing the cascades of color of the azaleas and dogwoods and cherry blossoms. The landscape seems to  come alive with color! After the gloom and cold of a long dreary winter, it is a refreshing and welcome sight.

But a blog about spring would not be complete without mention of the most poignant example of renewal. Easter can be a photographer's dream....There are abundant photo ops of kids running around in their adorable new Easter outfits, searching out brightly colored eggs and mounds of chocolate, with doting parents not far behind. But what is more important to me is what Christ did for all mankind. He came to earth as a man and suffered a horrible death to allow us to live a redemptive life. His death on the cross and subsequent  resurrection is embodied in the rebirth displayed each springtime. Spring is truly a special time!
