A Spring Renewal

Spring has sprung in the south, which certainly reminds me that there are perks to my time here. Spring offers a natural renewal. I see the spring as a time to start over- to start fresh and reevaluate. Every year as the temperature warms and the sun finally begins to shine again, people seem to come alive, as if having been dormant during those chilly winter months. The surge of positive energy sends everyone outside to enjoy the weather creating an influx of backyard barbecues and parties (in Alabama its crayfish boils and pool parties).
The flowers in Alabama are particularly unique; the pinks, purples and whites all work to sweeten the air. I took advantage of the weather and snapped a few pics along the way.
