Spring




There is something about Spring - it really does put a spring in your step. The warmer weather signifies the winter is over and swimming is just around the corner.

In the harbour city, the water sparkles and the dining is out of doors.

The flowers come out adding colour to our day, and in the urban sprawl, green leaves hide the ugliness a little.








Australian Spring is also footy finals, which is great or painful, depending on your standpoint; it is Halloween, we get a long weekend, and there's a race that stops a nation.

Then it's Christmas and holidays, and the long hot summer.

There is definitely something mood-enhancing about Spring, and I guess part of that makes me feel young, like the old song says. Maybe that's really why I like it so much.

  1. Oh I love all these...but long weekend at Halloween? I think I have missed something...The footy finals are painful for me. Oh but the rest. Spring does make you feel young all over again, gives you so many reasons to be carefree. Maybe that is why I love it so much. Thank you for linking up to #convocoffee ~ Josefa

  2. Poor phrasing, in Spring it's Halloween AND we also get a long weekend. I'm a Bomber so I can't talk finals this year :( but I did pick the right year to scoot off to the Grand Prix this September (all puns intended)

  7. I think you have got it spot on Lydia. Spring makes me feel young, possibly because it brings up feelings I've felt ever since I was young. That anticipation of impending freedom from school, work and the house. The moment I smell the jasmine in the air I know we are on our way to summer and I love it!

  9. Is it really a long weekend for Halloween? Probably not for Perth. I'm really looking forward to spring, not that we've really had that much of a winter.

  12. As you say hello to spring, we are saying hello to fall in the northern hemisphere. My favorite season. Our temps are just beginning to dip below triple digits F. I am thrilled. Happy spring!

  13. Spring is definitely my favourite season - it has Goldilocks weather (not too hot, not too cold, just right,) the footy finals (I love them,) and daylight savings so I can finally take dinner pictures with decent light!

  16. Such lovely happy words Lydia! I love spring too and your descriptions are spot on! I will be away overseas for most of November/December/January so will miss the main summer months. I'm so glad I got to see my spring flowers in the garden though :) . #lifethisweek
