blooming trees

This week has been super busy, but even I have found time to stop and enjoy the beauty of all the blooming trees in Minneapolis.I've never been a huge fan of spring before (blame my allergies and my impatience for "real" warmth), but this year is different. For some reason I'm loving all the rich greens of the neighborhood lawns and the full blossoms on the trees.It's this time of year that I love, love, love photographing families around the flowering gardens, but weirdly this year I'm instead photographing insides of hospitals. Not quite the same, but work is work and I'll take it!You guys, the kitchen renovation is almost done! I cannot wait to show you final photos (I'm hoping to shoot it early next week). I am smitten with how things are turning out.For your internet shares of the day:+ I love this video of Ben Affleck mocking the movie Armageddon (h/t Margaret).+ Nat Geo travel photo awards -- look at that lion! And those reindeer!+ More gorgeous photos of Jupiter.
