I don't often do blog posts that are just images, but occasionally I get inspired, so today I want to share with you images I've taken of spring here in the Eastern US. I know many of you are snow-bound right now, or you may live in the Midwest or Western US. In an attempt to share with you all the beauties here, I have created a photo gallery of images from here on the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy!

I hope you've enjoyed my "Spring in Pictures" gallery. I truly enjoyed taking all of these photos. Give yourself an assignment to record your seasonal surroundings, a goal to closely observe nature, and get out there!
