This week, Amy reminds us to tell Earth Stories. She writes “The natural world has many stories to tell. They are written on the ground, in the mountains and rivers, and on rocks and trees. Let’s share their stories through our lenses. ”
Earlier this week we had Spring Equinox. That day, when day and night have the same length, marks the begin of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall in the Southern Hemisphere. In spring, Mother Earth demonstrates all of her creativity and power. Gazillions of plants start growing or blooming and the animals get their offspring.
In Japan, this time of the year is so important, that they broadcast a prognosis for the first day, when the first cherry blossoms start blooming. The cherry blossom is the symbol for beauty. This tradition called Hanami in Japan and you can read more about it on Wikipedia.

It’s sometimes hard to find images fitting to a certain challenge. For these tasks, I’m using the help of Excire Foto. I told the software where my image library is located and it starts analyzing the images. It recognizes the main colors in the images as well as the contents (what is in the images) and tags them automatically. Later, I can use the user interface to search for images with certain tags. Currently, you can save a few bucks when ordering Excire Foto, because it’s on sale. With coupon Code SPRING-30 you can save 30%.

Glorious reminders of springtime with Mother Earth Andre. Loved the baby animals and your closing magnolia is magnificent.
Thank you so much, Tina 😊 those lambs were only a few hours old, when I met them. It‘s so much fun to watch them while making their first steps and discover exploring their surroundings.
The weather is certainly part of the earth’s story. Lovely photos
Thank you so much 😊
You have to be KID-ding me. Love the lambs.
