Enjoying spring!

I think spring is remarkable. Spring releases all the good and blissful energy tucked away during the ugly and cold winter. Yeah it's a cliché, but you have just got to be the most insensitive human being on earth to chose to look the other way at the sight of a beautiful flower, or a meadow full of beautiful flowers or a blooming tree, to neglect the sound of a bumble bee's wings and the smell of grass.

'Gorgeous gorgeosity', is a term I first heard in the movie A Clockwork Orange, that i liked very much. What does this movie have to do with the idea of 'spring'? It's simple. Nothing. But saying it out loud, makes me think of all the things I've just told you concerning this magical time.

A lot has been written about it. I searched for an appropriate quote to enlighten my post and this is what I came up with:

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" ~ Mark Twain

So? Do you feel it? No? Words just don't cut it for you? Then maybe you'll find yourself in these pictures that I took, just a couple of days ago.

First post is the hardest...


Encouraged by those closest to me, I decided I should start taking into account the idea of having my own blog. I've been following up on many blogs, especially in the area of Photography and IT, but the one that kinda is my favorite, and that set the guidelines for mine, is Gabriela Sabau 's. She's a dedicated young artist, experimenting with different photography techniques and styles and that can also write some amazing stuff as well. Given the fact that I don't quite have the same writing skills and the fact that most of my emotional states end up as complete gibberish, I'll b using this post as a means of sharing some of the "knowledge" that I have acquired along the way, hoping that maybe, somehow, someway somebody will find this useful. And apart from the babbling, I'll also be including one or more photos of mine on every post, so that you'll c what I've been up to... :)

So, guess this is it for today. I'll leave you with a quote from a very special friend of mine, that I found to be deep... and true! ;)

"Happiness is as a butterfly, which when pursued is always beyond our grasp, but which, if u will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

Vaya con Dios...
