This morning I woke up with the distinct impression there was sun behind the curtains. And sure enough, there it was. Unfortunately, this led me to the fool-hardy decision to go outside with bare feet and nothing but my pajamas on. Here is what I learnt: sun (even when plentiful) does not equal warmth. In fact, sun can equal freezing bleedin’ cold. BUT, even though I was out there for no more than 30 seconds, I did notice a snowdrop in one of our plant pots! I think makes it official: IT IS SPRING. And thus I decided to pester Hanno into agreeing to go for a walk in the woods so I could try to get some pictures of other signs of spring slowly emerging from the ground (my first spring shoot – of the first spring shoots. Geddit?). To my great disappointment there were not any fields of bluebells – or even snowdrops for that matter – but there were still plenty of pretty things for me to practice using my macro lens with. I got it for my birthday in November and have been waiting all winter long for it to really come into its own. And today it really did. Besides, even if it had rained, I always have Amélie to chase with my camera.
It’ll be summer before you know it.
