Spring? - Chicago Area Photographer

March 20th was the official start of spring, but 4 weeks later it sure doesn't feel like it here with temps in the 40s. This week I took my lil' monsters out to see if we could capture any signs of spring. BTW- we had snow flurries yesterday. Winter just doesn't want to let us go.





"The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month." Henry Van Dyke, American author







"No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow." Proverb









"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." Margaret Atwood, Canadian poet "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcomed." Anne Bradstreet, poet "If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom." Terri Guillemets, quotation anthologist "In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours." Mark Twain













"Where man sees but withered leaves, God sees sweet flowers growing." Albert Laighton, poet








"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade." Charles Dickens





































"The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring." Bern Williams, author
