'Looking forward to sweet times' by Martina Stutz

Spring is such a wonderful and joyful season.
It sees the end of winter, and leads on to the, hopefully, hot and humid season called summer. The air begins to warm up, and the temperature slowly rises. Not only that, but the days seem to be getting longer as well. It brings new life all around us. The lovely flowers begin to bud and the flies and bees begin to come out. The tree buds start turning green as forestry is starting to grow and thrive. The air smells different - as opposed to winter, it smells fresh and alive. The animal kingdom also uses spring to mate and animals come out of hibernation. The smell of freshly cut grass goes through the warm spring air.

Also, we photographers see the world through different eyes and there are new beginnings to our creativity.
Spring brings us the most amazing light of the year along with the colours of the flowers and trees and the glow of the sun.

We can use all of these to improve our creative side and look at the world in a new way as new life in nature emerges.

Of course, we here on 1x live are surrounded by amazing photographic artists who are inspirational and here are some of these images, inspired and created by the force of new life in the season of Spring.
