April. My least favorite month of the year. It’s that ugly “middle” between winter and spring – there’s mud and muck and the temperature and weather can turn on a dime. I’m actually one who hopes for snow storms in April! As I write this, parts of NH and Vermont got snow this morning! Here in MA, we weren’t so fortunate.
I always hope to find some pops of color in April! We have two trees in our yard that are my signs of spring. Out front we have purple sand cherry blossoms, which are delayed this year. And in the backyard we have this lovely forsythia – my personal sign that spring has sprung!
Kota cracks me up! I love her smile as she runs toward you (or the chicken)!
Kota looks lovely with that EPIC pop of color! This is a great way to show how you can turn an “ugly” space into stunning images.
Okay, so you have not seen an ugly yard before, because yours is beautiful!
Forsythia is one of my favorite spring signs! I love that big bold color as a backdrop – Kota looks especially beautiful with those tones.
Great shot of Kota running with the Forsythia as the background.
Kota looks great running in front of the forsythia. I so hear you about “mud season.” It is my least favorite time of year as well, especially when I have to clean 2 large horses who compete for trophies in mud rolling.
It’s funny how photographers’ dogs know just how far they can push us (and how to get exactly what they want); you want me to run across the yard a few times on a warm day? Then you’d better be packing some chicken LOL. Ginger looks to see if I’ve got my treat bag on my hip, if I don’t she looks at me like “why don’t you go get some treats and let me know when you want to get serious about getting some photos LOL. I just love Kota’s smile (and Pete is WAY more willing than my husband, I can only photograph his hands w/out a fight).
