Spring Winds

Its funny the relationship we all have with the weather. I wish it would warm up, its too hot, we need rain, guess I am gonna have to build a boat.

Here is how I have learned to deal with it. First I will tell you about spring winds.

Spring brings soft winds, the air smells cool and its almost like a new beginning. It brings out all of these little babies. Little baby buds and leaves. The ancient bulbs start to bloom like the tulips and buttercups. They are there for wisdom to teach the little babies to grow and look over them. That's how I have always looked at it. Light rain comes and washes everything clean for the new year. Almost like an artist throwing water on a painting while it is wet. A clean slate.

The other night I had a client in the studio and while she was changing clothes I stepped outside. I was sweating like crazy keeping the studio warm because I didn't want her to get cold. Of course I got chill bumps when I walked outside. A storm was coming and you could see the clouds rolling by so fast in the sky. It was almost like they were running away from the storm. The wind was blowing and I just stood there with my eyes closed and could smell almost pure air. Instantly I went back to a couple of years ago when I sat on the beach in Florida. The baby was taking a nap in the room with the family I walked down to the beach with my oldest daughter. It was the week of Christmas so the weather was a little cool. While Rachel hunted for shells, I sat in a chair that was there from the resort and closed my eyes. It was like a spring winds. Cool, misty, relaxing.


It took me a while to appreciate things. Yeah spring rains still mess up my shoots. Although overcast days rock. The spring wind will blow a little harder than gentle and my clients hair is blowing everywhere. But it is what we were given. Complaining about it is not gonna make it any better. Tomorrow I will tell you about summer. Wha? I gotta drag it out. I am running out of smartness...Until then
