Pre-spring

It's no secret that I adore summer. It's the heady mixture of the delicious long evenings and the pure, unadulterated pleasure of wearing flip-flops and quick, sneaked lunch break picnics on the grass. Glorious. Maybe it's because I love summer so much that Spring is fast becoming my new favourite season. I think that what I love about Spring is the promise of summer. Things beginning to awaken all around you; buds and blossoms.

On days like today I could also learn to love winter: the pre-spring. Cloudless, blue skies and the promise of new beginnings.
