The One Where it's Finally Spring.

Looking for a place to link your snapshots?  Go here!

While we were in Utah for mr's little brother's wedding, I actually got to enjoy some real Spring weather.  It was fabulous.  We stepped off the plane without coats or sweatshirts and the first thing mr and I noticed was how BALMY it was.  Which was hilarious since mr's dad wasted no time telling us what a cold Spring they'd been having...


I snapped some photos there, and then today we were blessed with some wonderful sunshine - and freezing cold wind.  So although it didn't FEEL like Spring, it LOOKED it.  Which helped a bit.  Do you think we may be done with snow now???


I had to use one archived photo for the Sunday Scavenger Hunt.  But I edited it for this hunt, so it counts, right?

Architecture

The temple of the church I attend in Chicago.  It's our closest temple - about 3-4 hours away (depending on which one of us is driving...)

Rimmed With Light

You guys, this is SOOC!  I usually don't like my shots SOOC - I generally touch up at least a little.  But this one - the depth of field, the blurred background, the lighting, the crop... it all turned out just as I wanted it to!  That never happens - so let's say HOORAY! This tree is in front of our house, and it finally has BUDS!

And I couldn't pick just one for this one.  Because mini's just too cute...

She was playing with daddy.  Poor kiddo isn't feeling well.  Again.  Or still?  Whatever.  Look at that bed head.

Toes or Feet

My scaly winter feet have been aching for fresh grass.  They finally got it in Utah.

This is My Favorite...  part of spring.  All the flowers, color, life.

This is in Utah.  We're not quite at this point here.

Shade(s)

There has to be sun for there to be shade... and that's in short supply.  Even in Utah, there wasn't a ton.  But bug found plenty of Easter eggs hidden in shady nooks of the trees in Grandpa and Grandma's backyard.
