After a long and cold winter, spring is coming again. The flowers are beginning to blossom, and with every rain, they grow larger. One of my favorite hobbies is taking photos of flowers. Their color and pattern are eye-catching, and their smell is lovely. Too bad we can't catch their scent with a camera, that is something we should experience on our own.
Walking in nature and observing these flowers makes me feel a hundred times better. It has a pleasure incomparable to anything else. I feel light as if the load and pressure of life have been lifted off my shoulder.
In our culture, the first day of spring is the beginning of the new year. A couple of days before that, we clean our entire house, all of our clothes, blankets, and carpets. We clean all the windows and walls. Pretty much everything that exists in our home need to be cleaned. This is an ancient tradition based on the belief that while nature is having a fresh start, we should also get into the new year completely clean and neat.
Spring is not just a time for material renewal, it's also a time to refresh our souls, to move on from the past and all that happened, and become prepared for the future and all that is going to happen. It's a time to embrace our being.
This spring I'm gonna go out more and take more photos, especially now that I've discovered Hive and its potential to be a powerful blogging platform. I've found a lot of people here with a love and passion for nature and photography. As a beginner photographer, I'm learning a lot from you hivers.
Let's see what will happen this spring. I'm personally excited about the new adventures I'm going to experience. I try my best to share it with you, and I would be glad to hear your spring stories.
