I missed all the warmth and sunshine here in Northern Virginia while I was in Vegas for a photographer’s conference last week, but it looks like things are slowly warming again. I am so excited about spring. Growing up on the west coast, I took warm weather for granted. Now that I live here, I have a greater appreciation for it. We have about 14 months left here before the Navy relocates us, so I will soak in the beauty that the changing seasons bring. With any luck, we’ll be back in San Diego, but there’s a chance we may end up in Dallas as well. I seriously miss living near the beach. There is something so calming about listening to the ocean and feeling the breeze across your skin on a hot summer day. But there’s something to be said about watching all the colors sprout up during the east coast spring. It’s like a box of Crayolas and one great big canvas. If you’ve never been to DC when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom around the Tidal Basin, you must visit it at least once in your life. It is breathtaking and surreal, especially when the wind catches the petals and they blow around you like white and pink snow drifts.
