Perspective

"Change in all things is sweet." - Aristotle

Everyone once and a while, it's good to look at things from a different perspective, to reconsider the obvious or comfortable choice. To that end, it's time for a spring makeover -- a clean layout & subtle palate to showcase my photos.

Wanderlust

It's officially Spring Break and I have a major case of wanderlust. Last year, I was enjoying long strolls under blossoming trees and the lovely weather that is quintessential "April in Paris." This year it's gray skies, a good chance of rain (possibly snow!), and brisk walks under bare trees -- springtime in Wisconsin. What Spring Break 2014 lacks in atmosphere, I hope to make up for in much-needed rest, a couple of good books, and a bit of pampering. Maybe I don't need a change in latitude to change my attitude...but it wouldn't hurt!

Yesterday's nourishing rain and encouraging sunshine brought forth tender green leaves: coral bells announcing the arrival of spring.
