Spring Walkabout

(our soundtrack today...)

(remember this from Bugs Bunny - tee hee !)

Our Spring Walkabout Story begins in the studio...

So you know it is Spring, right, Kim ?

In Spring, everyone feels energized. They feel like there are new plans to be launched, new growth that needs to happen, bright sunshine warming up those creative juices, etc...

How you feeling, Kim ?

Not quite like that, eh ? ;)

You wanna try and do something about it ?

Good. This is your one juicy, sweet life. Let's go live the Spring !

Deep breath, and we are off...

Here's what Kim saw, smelled, felt and heard on her Spring Walkabout - around the pond at Livingston Park...

The ice is gone, the buds are bursting,

the air was filled with that muddy mucky, still water smell along with sweet green-ness...

I even met a tree who seemed to be all ready for a date with me.

See his ruffled tuxedo shirt ?

First we got to know one another, shared a couple of secrets...

and then I slept with him...

Just joking, I am not that kind of girl at all !

We did share a few smiles and laughs though...

Then I wandered on.

I came upon a noisy spot.

The three or four huge pine trees were filled with birds of all kinds making a racket!

There was a house that sits on the edge of the pond where they have hung many bird feeders.

Hence the racket and the multi-bird hangout.

I only caught this one flying away with my camera...

Spotted this wickedly witchy looking bush, still waiting for its buds to pop...

And further on I saw the evidence of that crazy winter storm that knocked down

so many of the trees in our area.

The city just chopped them up to clear the walking path around the pond...

Doesn't the sap look like paint drips...cool circle...

On the far side of the pond, it is quieter. The wind dies down and

the sun's warmth started to hit me...

I could feel a change come over me...

Maybe it was the Vitamin D, or maybe it was just the power of Spring...

I felt that I had finally taken the time to

And guess what ?

I was fortunate enough to hear an answer when I did!

Now I just have to take that answer to heart,

give it some love,

and let it take me where I am supposed to be.

I will get there...

Spring told me so...

Big LOve to you, Beautiful Ones.

May Spring hold some answers for you too!
