5 Reasons Why You Should Go to Iceland

It’s been eight days since I returned to my bungalow from the beautiful goodness of Iceland. It’s been my dream to go to Iceland way before it was cool-it was actually a quiz question on a “How well do you know Lindsay?” game at my 14th birthday as my #1 travel destination. I ended up […] … Continue reading 5 Reasons Why You Should Go to Iceland

Breath taking photography, thanks for sharing.

It is so fitting that I share these images today.  It gets right to the heart of why I take them, because any time I like I can just open them and be transported to spring.  It is fitting, because as I predicted it snowed last night.  Our tree outside looks gloriously vibrant, however, despite the snow so that is a good thing.  I do not know, however, how the flowering trees have fared at the gardens and can only hope they are just as resilient.  We have had wind and some snow, but fortunately we did not have hail like last year.

So, for those of you already in spring – let us celebrate her beauty.  For those of you (like me) stuck in less appealing weather, let us celebrate her anyway 🙂  I hope you enjoy!

Awesome!!

Our week off is slowing dwindling to an end.  It was not the excitement I expected (we did not end up going anywhere) but being a part of a family means learning to be flexible.  I have had time to go to the gardens and take pictures.  I have also had the opportunity to write, which I have not had these past few weeks because school has been way too busy.

I cannot even imagine how it would feel to actually have your day open up to write.  I am always writing it snuck in here or there, wherever I can take it.  It is not easy, but truthfully I do feel a sadness in my heart when I cannot express myself.  It does not matter if the poem is about me or not – what matters is that I need to do it.  This is strange, thinking that not…

Beautiful Visions of Spring.

I am absolutely thrilled to finally have a break from school.  Today, we even broke out of form and just relaxed.  We took things slower.  It was rather nice.  Yesterday, we went to the gardens.  I cannot say how awed I am at her beauty.  I just hope it doesn’t snow (I’ve been told it might snow this weekend).  In that case, I hope the snow is gentle on the bit of growth we have seen.  I seriously worry when we have bad weather and I know the small plants are trying to struggle through.  I guess it may be seen as odd, but I really do.

I have to tell you right now, I saw spring awaken.  I found her on every tree and every nook and cranny of the gardens.  Although she was singing softly, it was definitely a beautiful tune!  I hope you enjoy the images.  There…
