Hello Spring!
This time of year really excites me. Spring brings a sense of promise, optimism and hope. I think that the frenzy of growing activity translates into an energy that’s something beyond the relief of it not being so cold anymore. Living in a part of the world where there are four very distinct seasons has really helped me appreciate and feel this renewal. When I lived in Singapore, I never really felt a change in seasons (well, that’s the tropics for you, I suppose). Even in Australia—where I spent my first 23 or so years in Perth and then Melbourne—it was never so obvious as the changes I see and feel here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I’m very thankful.

Signs of spring…
Spring is just starting to express its intentions here in Pittsburgh. At the dog park this means two things: more dogs to meet and photograph and muddy shoes. The latter is perfectly okay for short-haired breeds like this beagle here, but for dogs like Miro, my cocker spaniel:
…the mud gets all over his feet and ears. We spent about half an hour in the bath when we got home, just shampooing in between his toes. It’s worth it, though, to see the joy on his face, which in turn makes my head explode from the cuteness and puts me in a great mood for the rest of the day.
Miro’s not the only one enjoying the brisk, early Spring weather here:
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh”
