Sixty-one degrees, people! I want to shout it from the rooftops! Spring has sprung! This first warm day in what feels like forever had me wishing I was outdoors playing.

Perhaps I should not admit this in public. But I can’t help thinking of that song from the Brady Bunch.

I think I’ll go for a walk outside now

The summer sun’s callin’ my name (I hear ya now)

I just can’t stay inside all day

I gotta get out, get me some of those rays

Now all of you who are old enough to remember those crazy Brady kids dancing their over-choreographed butts off trying to pay for that silver platter after Jan jacked up the inscription are going to have that song in your heads all day. You’re welcome.

And in honor of this beautiful day, another image from Brett’s 10-month session. He loves this sunflower mirror.

Snow! Snow! Snow!!

As the snow started to fall yesterday I confess that all I wanted to do was sit at my front window and watch the flakes come down. There’s something about snow, especially in the south, that just transforms the entire world. And not just because people stay in their houses (after, of course, cleaning out all the bread and milk from the Kroger) … it’s the quiet peace of snow falling, the white blanket over everything that literally transforms the view outside our windows to something entirely different. It’s the snowmen, the crunch under your feet, the sparkle of sun on the snow-covered tree branches … it’s a chance for us to remember exactly how beautiful our surroundings are. Something we so often overlook until mother nature gives us this excuse to pause and appreciate what we see.

A few images of the snow…

The dogs consult on whether they enjoy this…

Yesterday, I was headed to a session and was making good time… too good. I was about 15 minutes early, and driving through the country, past miles and miles of cotton fields. I’ve never seen the cotton blooming before, it was beautiful! So, I stopped to enjoy the scenery and take a few pictures. Love the white cotton against the blue sky.

This is one of the pods that didn’t open.
