spring longing

okay okay, so i've been slacking! it's been a full week since my last post. i do have a bit of an excuse though, i started a new position at my company this week! i am now a Rail Transportation Coordinator! MUCH different from my previous Marketing position. this has definitely kept me distracted recently, although it hasn't changed the fact that i am still impatiently awaiting spring time. it's been rainy and cold so far this march and i have some major spring fever.

So on that note, thank you ModCloth for this awesome post last week. these images scream spring, and it couldn't make me smile more. i've done a few things around my house to "spring" up my surroundings. adding bright colors anywhere and everywhere most definitely helps. this weekend the plan is to get out and do some yard work. i can't wait to pick out some bright spring flowers to plant in my garden! :)



Thanks ModCloth!



i'll follow the yellow brick road!

i must admit, yellow has never really been my color. i'm a fair skinned redhead, so not a great combo. BUT lately i've been crazy drawn to YELLOW! not just in clothes, shoes & accessories but all facets of design; yellow walls especially. it's just so cheerful and inviting. and as cold winter weather is dragging along, it definitely helps temporarily pull me out of that 'mind funk.'

"they call me mellow yellow"....

 

"on a rainy monday"

today is a dreary day in northwest arkansas. not a great way to start a monday or the work week. ironic enough on my drive to work "Rainy Monday" by Shiny Toy Guns came on my XM.... talk about coincidence. the song mentions the days of summer....and i couldn't help but start longing for spring time. we've had a few days of warm weather which was a huge tease. week before last we made it through 10+ inches of snow and -15 degree weather at one point. then this past weekend people were out walking their dogs, strolling their kiddos, joggin, & just enjoying the 70 degree weather! but alas, cold weather is back on the radar this week.

to put myself in a better mood, i thought i'd share some images that excite me for spring! it can't come quick enough...

cmon Spring, hurry up!

my own spin on things

today after cleaning house i practiced with my new canon digital SLR that i got for christmas. i have to admit i am not even close to shooting manual yet, but i am determined to learn! below are some of the shots i snapped, accompanied by other past practice shots....

this has been one crazy winter.

i like the shadows in this pic. the frame collage is one of my projects. i bought a box of brown frames on craiglist and painted/distressed them. the photos are my travel photos from Europe.

i thought this turned out unique (zep in his favorite spot)

where's zeppelin?

oh, there he is.
