Spring is a time of new beginnings as nature slowly awakens. As the temperature rises, seeds and bulbs that have been buried for months now appear as flecks of green shoots and buds. With courtship underway, old partnerships and rivalries are resumed – love and war in mother nature.
For me, this is the best time of year to be out with a camera; a chance to reflect and refresh, to rekindle old projects or begin new ones, and to remedy mistakes or build upon successes. It can be demanding, too, as the days and foliage get longer; walking, stalking, or waiting for hours, calling on old instincts and fieldcraft skills.
