Hello Spring!

Today, I would like to share some photographs I captured of Spring this year in Philadelphia and a few surrounding areas.

I am surprised by how much spring color we have already, considering that the weather has been bipolar (one day warm and springlike, the next day cold and winterlike). Whenever I walk the city streets, I see a combination of shorts, tank tops, and flip flops, mixed with coats, scarves, gloves, wool caps, and boots. One day last week, when it was in the 30s, I saw a guy on the street wearing a T-shirt and shorts -YIKES! As you all know, I love the cold. However, I dress for it. People here seem to dress for summer in winter, and dress for winter in summer. I've actually seen people wearing hoodies (with the hood up) on a sweltering 99-degree August day. I am always tempted to walk up to them and ask, "Excuse me, do you have blood or ice water running through your veins?!?"

Oh well, to each their own. 

So, without further ado, please enjoy Hello Spring! 

This next photo is for my dear friend, Bijoux...

Last week, I took the train out to Media, PA. Nicknamed: "Everybody's Hometown." 

You can see a tree starting to bloom next to this adorable church...

I also took the train to Swarthmore. A scrumptious little town 30 mins. outside Philadelphia...

🌸🌷🌹I hope you're enjoying a colorful Spring wherever you are!🌼🌺🌼

Have a great week, everyone!
