You have to look closely for their personalities, but they're there, no matter how subtle they may be. Summer is a blonde bombshell, perfectly tan and toned, with a flashing white smile. Autumn is a man, quiet and mild-mannered, with a hint of boldness peeking through now and then. Winter is an ice queen, beautiful but harsh and unpredictable. And then there's spring, the innocent younger sister of Summer, a young girl with a wonder for the world. Her cheeks are delicately blushed and her slim figure is draped in a flowy dress as she flits across grass strewn with the petals of fallen blossoms.

Plans for the summer are advancing (that are ridiculously exciting, I must say) and the anticipation mounts, but Spring will grow out of her girlhood all too soon. I shouldn't miss what's left of it.
Happy Tuesday!
Happy Tuesday!
I am so happy that Spring has finally arrived! Your photos definitely accurate representations of it too. So beautiful! The weather in North Carolina is beautiful. The temperature has been in the 80s (Faint).
ReplyDeleteI stared at the first picture for about ten seconds. and then the second picture. and then the third one. you are so so talented! I love this :)
ReplyDeleteraw honey is the best.
ReplyDeletespring here in texas had arrived in early march, maybe late february, and we're heating up the oven for summer. it's beautiful, though. the sky is a menagerie of blues and pinks and oranges at dawn and dusk. happy spring, dearie :)

Deletethat's alright, carlotta! you deserve because everything i said was true : )
Deleteah... i love love love your description of spring, it's so perfect. and your pictures are delicious. cheers to exciting summer plans!
ReplyDeletebreathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love how you compared the seasons to people. how perfectly lovely. I am loving spring. but it's jolly unfair that you're getting a tan. getting a natural tan in england is impossible. so I'm just going to move to america (or back to nz, either one will do!). the end.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures!!
beautiful i love it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, simply beautiful! Such talent...*sighs*
ReplyDeleteYour sisters are SO cute! -'specially Lilly, with her missing teeth!
this post = love love love!! you're so amazing with photography and words.
ReplyDeletei love the flower pictures the most, i think. and i love your season descriptions - i think spring is my favorite. here in Canada we're torn between summer, spring, and winter. (weird, i know.)

Your way with words are just quite delightful. I quite enjoy reading your blog for that reason.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky, lucky girl! Autumn has truly began to set in in Australia, and I'm wishing Spring back already. Well, at least it doesn't snow here. :)
Keep on keeping on,
Sarah

ReplyDeletesoooo pretty. this is the kind of post I keep bookmarked so I can always find it and look at the photos as much I need to. ;) I love the photo of Meme...she is beautiful! I saw your double-exposure post on Fernweh with these, and it's crazy how lovely they are alone or together.
