Ready for Spring

I don't know about you, but I am ready for spring.  I am so ready for the newness of life that is evident all around us this time of year.   Plus I'm just a little bit stir crazy today.  I need to get out of the house.  The beauty of the mountains in spring is a wonderful sight.  I love the fresh deep color green almost like green fuzz that emerges out of the ground the first few days of March.  It brings a cleansing feeling to the earth.  This was takne in Nauvoo Illinois last spring.  I love this time of year because just like the earth I feel a fresh new start each spring.  I seem to see everything with new eyes.  A new appreciation for things all around me that I take for granted.  Enjoy this time of year.  Look all around you for Heavenly Father's presence.

Great time to start writing!

I've put it off long enough.  I have fought  having a blog spot just because I thought I didn't have time to write! And, well who would want to listen to me ramble on anyway.  Maybe no one will, but I will give it a shot.  I love to talk about the things I am learning and the great pictures it helps me create.  Capturing that one of a kind moment with my lens is a rush of excitement.  Looking thru the lens helps me to see life a little more clearly, lets just say it helps me focus on the things that are really important.  I can blur out or sharpen the detail I want to remember or forget....If I could view life like I do thru my camera lens I would probably do a lot better.  I get distracted sometimes by all the chaos of life.  But when I get that shot you know that perfect shot the one that speaks to your soul.  I know that I have just captured something special, but not because someone told me I did.  Its a feeling, something that I feel deep down in my heart.  A memory that will last forever.  I guess that applies to life also, focus on the really important things and blur out the rest.  Then listen for the Spirit to guide me that I might feel Heavenly Fathers divine role in my life.  Everything in this beautiful world was created by His hand.  It is my deepest desire to share this beauty His creations with you.  And maybe, just maybe you will see His beauty in the images I capture.  If we could see the world thru the Saviors eyes what a wonderful life we would have.
