Mark Twain must have visited our neck of the woods, because the weather can change within an hour or two in our state. I remember one time I was taking my son to look at colleges. When we left Roswell, it was about 72 degrees. By the time we reached Vaughn an hour and a half later, we were in a blizzard. It was crazy weather...and we were not at all prepared.
Our photo challenge for March is creative...with the theme being "Spring is in the air." This theme leaves it pretty wide open for interruption. The photo can be pretty much of anything that occurs in spring time. Spring is synonymous with new beginnings. Here are some ideas to get you thinking outside the box.
New babies...human, animal, reptile, bugs, or any other creature. This could include eggs of all kinds, and nests.
 |
| This hawk and its mate were building a nest... |
 |
| Mama and her babies... |
 |
| Owl...I could hear him hooting...I was so happy when I finally found him. |
The schools have spring break...document family activities during spring break.
 |
| Baseball season always starts in the spring... |
 |
| Fun activities with loved one...see the buds on the tree behind my granddaughter. We did a spring photo shoot... |
Storms...
 |
| Get brave, and go photograph them... |
Trees budding, and flowers...lots of flowers...
 |
| There are lots of photo opportunities with the budding of trees... drive around Roswell...there are lovely trees... |
 |
| I love tulips... |
and weeds...pesky weeds...but they make nice bouquets, and interesting photos...
 |
| During one of my walks, I found these weed flowers on the side of the road after the city had mowed them down. I went back to pick them up, arranged them in a vase, and took pictures of them. They smelled pretty bad, but they looked pretty... |
 |
| What can be prettier than a dandelion with all its seeds in a nice globe... |
Insects...maybe even try photographing ants...in their ant bed, or carrying something that is 10 times their size...just be careful and don't get bit.
grass turning green...and morning dew...
Fun in the sun...
and planting the flower, or vegetable garden...
The sky is the limit. You are only limited by your imagination. Try some new photo techniques...get down low, get high. Look at your world with new eyes...for the new spring. Make this your new beginning to see, to observe, to document life, and to enjoy God's creatures, and creation. Go out and get clicking...
