Spring Into Green

3/15/2019

3 Comments

 
We are approaching mid-March in Pennsylvania, better known as snow-melting mud month. At this time of year we are just starting to see yellowish/green grass appear from under ice layers in the back yard.  Our dogs have learned which parts of the yard are safe to travel and which offer guarantees of slipping feet and no stability.

It's no surprise, then, that when this week's theme appeared, I immediately thought of and longed for the green grass of spring and summer.

I've spent some time this last week and weekend purging archived files.  I discovered so many I had set aside and not edited.  When I came upon the summer grass photos, my whole mindset perked up, thinking of warmer days, sandals, patio living and sunshine.  It's no surprise that I decided to share that mindset with you this week by editing some unedited photos and sharing them here. 

Nothing is brighter than the grass of Spring.  Photographers know this, as we clean the reflections off the coats of our subjects, to eliminate the green cast grass often adds to the photo.  But right now, that bright green is what I am waiting for.  How about you?

The first photo above is of Tinker, our farrier's dog, who accompanies him on all of his farm trips, and brings mountains of sticks to your feet to be thrown.  The second photo, is our Bethy, who will be 14 years old this year.  Both were taken late day (sunset time frame), surrounded by spring green grass that needed to be mowed.

There's a reason it's called spring, you know.  It brings a spring to your step, encourages you to spring into new projects, and even clean the house.  Okay, let's not get THAT carried away!

To enjoy more of what this week's theme has to offer, remember this is a blog circle, and by clicking on the link at the bottom of each blog, you can see more interpretations of the theme, and meet more professional photographers (both nationally and internationally).  I hope your weekend is Springy!  Start here with Linda Perdue of VP Shoots Photography serving Tampa Bay, Florida.

Our world is still very white so I am loving your green grass photos. Tinker and Bethy are beautiful! Bethy certainly looks good for 14!

Such gorgeous dogs... Bethy looks like a beautiful and wise old soul.

I don't know if I'd recognize a farrier that didn't have a dog with him! They are the best, animal savvy farm dogs! Beautiful images, I can't wait for that lush green around here!
