It's generally sunny, unless there is a hurricane! These little beauties popped up a few days ago, and what better way to celebrate the end of winter, then a bit of sun, so strech out your petals and look to the light mene!

Even this 'lifeless' concrete post has wild flowers at its base and an iron fence can barely contain the plants growing behind it. I hope the owner of that bicycle comes back before it's engulfed!

As much as I love a freshly mowed lawn in spring, my mower is much more likely to have dandelions growing around it.

Spring is my favorite season and one of the main reasons for that is the return of the frogs. I have a pond so I get to hear all kinds of frogs sing every night from the start of spring to the end of fall. Bull frogs, pond frogs and tree frogs. I absolutely love frogs and get excited for them in the spring. So, for that reason, I pictured one of the frogs from my pond (which was really hard because they all leap away when I go near the water!) ---------- Post added 05-21-2012 at 07:25 PM ---------- Picture Perfect Username: neller Submission: Proof: http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...e/P1010109.jpg (taken 2 weeks later) Notes: RAINBOW! What spring would be complete without a rainbow? It's the season of rain (at least where I'm from) and the sun sometimes manages to peek through the grey clouds. When that happens, these beautiful and natural pieces of art spread their colors across the sky.

Other than palm trees. D:

Just over one year ago, there was a massive earthquake and tsunami that affected the lives of everyone living in Japan, but especially those who were living on the coast. I was lucky to be inland at the time so I didn't seen the worst of the disaster with my own eyes. But what I did see were people immediately getting to work to ensure the safety of others and gradually rebuild and restore life to normal. Rather than dwelling on the disaster, I'll never forget the inspiring strength I observed in the aftermath. But the process is still on-going. This weekend I joined a project to plant trees that will eventually form a protective barrier for a small town by the coast that was largely washed away during the tsunami. This photo shows the saplings that I hope will grow into sturdy trees and volunteers, young and old, who helped plant them. (My trees are the two in the middle.)

Granted there are festivals all the time in Japan, but the major ones all seem to happen once the weather becomes warm. This is a photo of a mikoshi (portable shrine) which people carried all the way into town from a shrine on a far away hill. Apparently the only people allowed to carry it are the descendants of Date Masamune, the samurai lord who founded Sendai. I also have some photos of people dressed like samurai, so I was torn about which photo to use. XD Ultimately I thought a mikoshi was a bit more unique.

Notes: Spring to me is new life, sunshine and the outdoors with vibrant colors and soft contrasts. This photo is of my daughter playing outside in our yard. She is four months old and so new to the world. So she to me represents spring in all its new life glory especially with the overgrown grass and flowers with the sun shining down on them.

My father took a picture of me with them. XD Was also wearing 'springy' colors. Currently, they're not so in bloom right now, so.. Yeah. ^ ^' This was a while ago.

Spring also brings a time of rememberance. If there's one time my family makes a point to go visit the graves, it's Memorial Day. So we go with leis and flowers and visit grandfathers, great grandparents, uncles and aunties that come have come before.

So flowers are a symbol of spring.

This is a sortof kickoff for the tourist season; it's one of the biggest and busiest weekends for the area. The other big weekends being 4th of July and Labor Day. It marks nice weather and awesome produce! This was part of the inflatables section, which covered about two blocks of space. There were a lot of predictable things--inflatable slides, bouncing castles, etc.--but this was something I had never seen before at a fair.
