Hello, blue skies.

Hello, sunshine.

Hello, buds.

Hello, blossoms.

Hello, nature’s jewels.

Hello, spring!

I’m head-over-heels excited that spring is finally here!

I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors lately; capturing the beauty of small town Missouri during this most glorious time of year. There’s something stirring within me that I can’t quite put into words. Spring is to blame. I’m alive. I’m inspired. I’m bursting at the seams.

I’m dying to share more of my photos with you during the Leap Into Spring! Photo Challenge. It starts on Friday, April 6th, in case you haven’t already heard. It promises to be an inspiring photo challenge filled with photography tips, tutorials, freebies and more. I hope you’ll join our community of photographers and share your talent with us. Everyone’s invited, regardless of skill level or camera equipment. Grab your cameras and let’s leap into spring!
