Emerging From A Long Winter!

It will be a glorious spring ski season with big ski resorts in California, such as Palisades in Tahoe and Mammoth staying open until July. 

My other true love, that stirs in me the moment the first blossoms burst forth like popcorn on the trees, is spring! Always. Instantly. My creative inspiration takes hold and it's all I can do to find people fast enough to let me photograph them in the fleeting magic while it lasts. 

Spring is my absolute favorite time of year for photos, simply because of the emergence of lush green and flowers and the sense that we live in a lush land, even when we know it transforms into a hot dry reality by late summer. Like the invocation of pure magic from snow sparkles, blossoms also elicit a magical overwhelm especially when there are intoxicating wafts of flower fragrance, the hum of insects, or a moody sunset bursting forth from rain-laden clouds. It's all like a melding of the senses, an artists pallet bursting with creative juices and zest to make art!
