Yet another wild Spring

Its that green, fresh, bright and innocent. Growing up, I was surrounded by greenery, which I miss a lot. However, its always green all year around in South India. But rainy season was different. I would watch the farmers plant the rice plants and they would struggle to get their feet in the ground. They would get pale a day or two after. Once their roots strengthened, there was a fresh green color in them. It would last quite a while maybe a month or so before it turned into a darker shade. But not the case when the spring green hits North America. It is short lived like the sunflowers but it is heartwarming.

You see what I mean? When the creepers are freshly coming out as the spring arrives and the snow water is at its peak. This is my favourite time of the year to hike. To chase the wild flowers and to see the rushing snow melt through the small creeks. 

That green again, against which any color shows up to its full potential. The sign of freshness that drives me to capture it before it changes to a darker, stronger shade.

If I go back to my collection, I observed that after tulips, my biggest collection is of wild flowers from spring with greenery of some sort in the pictures.

I am going to conclude this post with this intersting find on a green spring day. I distinctly remember that this was a morning hike where the sunlight was perfect. I have never seen a flower out of a leaf before. If any of you reading this know what it is, you will have to comment here and share it with me.

Describing pictures: from visual perception to action = creativity

Today's picture description is of this tulip that grew in my backyard in Logan, UT. First of all my creativity and desire to click pictures seem to peak in Spring. Something about all that color seem to make my imagination go wild. A lot of times (friends who know me would agree on this), I am known to click a million pictures and then sorting through them to find the right picture just gives me immense joy.

Getting back to the picture and why it warms my heart. The timing of this could be around 9/10am. The perfect amount of light that day to peak through those vibrant petals. I also think evening pictures of tulips are amazing in spring.

However, what makes this particular picture special is the dew that had just melted or to say it correctly had turned into bigger droplets and that drove me to click a series of pictures. A follow-up picture of this is where I have captured a droplet below this tulip that even has my old car in view (I will upload that soon).

 I am grateful for this on so many levels. It reminds me of beautiful spring days ahead of us as I write this post. It reminds me of the days when my heart gets excited about the summer ahead. It also helps me be grateful for the things I have had and lost.

People who read and view this, I would like feedback on your views to capturing tulips and adding/ sharing your beautiful pictures on this post.
