Linked 52:Spring

Spring is....

Birds chirping....

Rabbits frolicking in the grass...

Trees budding....

Green grass growing.....

Pretty pink and white blossoms everywhere....

The divine scent of lilacs wafting in the breeze....

*sigh*.......

But then there is reality.....

Along with spring comes my allergies.

Ugh.

Itchy, red eyes.

Runny nose.

Scratchy throat.

Spring and I have a love/hate relationship.....


But I endure it.

Because I mostly love it......

How could I not?

Below are the first signs of spring I happened to discover the other night....

I really do love spring.

Oh yes, seasonal allergies. Good reminder of what's coming here. Better stock up on the Zyrtec. Love that you have trees budding. We're still waiting for that here.

Oh you poor girl! Allergies are terrible!!! Love the shots of the tree buds!

Tracey said...

I'm sorry you have allergies. They seem to hit our family every other year or so. And I love your little leaf buds. They just make me smile!!!

Unknown said...

Aren't buds just amazing?
Allergies, ugh, I don't like having to prove I'm not using the meds for Meth!!!

Andrea said...

Oh the allergies! I feel your pain, but totally worth the nice weather and new life budding. The second and fourth photos are just amazing, Naomi. Gorgeous! And do you really already have the scent of lilacs in the air?! Oh deliciousness!

Liza B. Gonzalez said...

OH MY GOODNESS...I was sooo close in taking a shot of my allergy medicine, too. Great minds....I absolutely love the shots of the buds. Spring is so close!

Heidi said...

I've never really suffered with allergies until last 2 years. No bueno!

I love the subtle signs of buds on those trees. And I wish bunnies were frolicking in my grass!

Jean said...

i know. . . the weather makes me really bipolar. i can tell when it's a nice day coming ahead... my allergies bug me! :( and it's a love & hate relationship w/ me too.

stacey said...

Love your pretty buds, friend.

And lilacs already??? Really????

Heather M. said...

oh man, these photos are so beautiful. i love that you kept it real with the allergies. my hubby gets them every year too and it's not fun for him.

and i think you should totally get bonus points for using the word frolicking in this blog post. ;)

Kristin said...

amazing shots but man oh man can I relate. We are all dying over her with season allergies. I get them every time the seasons change but the rest of the fam gets them super bad in spring! Looks like it's time to take the whole crew in for allergy shots!

sara said...

Love the light in these images, and I had to smile at the allergy medication. I don't suffer from them myself, but my daughter does. She feels your pain!
