Spring: In Pictures

If you're wanting to see Spring in all it's glory, represented by some of the best Spring photos on the web, then you've reached the right place! :)

When you think of it, Spring is actually a really bizarre season for weather. It's not quite the warmth that we (are meant to!) experience over here in the UK in the summer - but it's also (not meant to be!) not as cold as the winter!

Throughout the course of my life, I can't think of one person that has ever answered 'Spring' when asked 'What is their favourite season?'. Perhaps it's different in other countries than the UK, for the obvious variations in temperate and climates. Maybe you can share your views in the guest book below later.

But for now, I want to demonstrate just why I think that in actual fact, Spring should be a serious contender for one of the best seasons of the year through a series of AMAZING photos that I've found across the web that I really think epitomises Spring!

Disclaimer: Remember I am writing this from the UK - so my view of Spring could be completely different to your own!!! ;)

I want you to answer me this simple question. And only this simple question... (I want to know how many I've got to try and convince that it's really not that bad!)

The first thing that pops into my head regarding Spring, is Lambing Season!!

As soon as you see one of these cute little critters make their little bleating noises, you know Winter has well and truly passed!

To all those chocolate lovers out there - BOOM! Easter is on it's way! The short holiday where you are ALLOWED to ditch your diets and eat up loads of chocolate!

Could days get any better?!?! (Hmm.. maybe that's another Squidoo page idea right there..!!)

Towards the end of Spring comes the dreaded time for all football fans.. the end of the season! Yeh, that's right... 2 whole months without any football to talk about!! Crazy!!

Anyway, the end of the season decides who gets relegated or who gets promoted! So depending on who you support - this could be a good or bad thing!

For me personally, I support Sheffield Wednesday. Unfortunately, this is often a bad thing for us!!

I'll throw it right out there, I don't actually own a dog. But if I did, I'd love to join the many dog walkers who make the most of the changing of temperature and enjoying some of the best landscape the UK has to offer!

Spring signifies much longer and lighter days for us in the UK, meaning the end to leaving the house in the dark - and coming home in the dark!

It's time to make the most out of the day light and enjoy what the UK has to offer!

As the trees start to grow their leaves again, the flowers start to bloom - there's not a better time in the Gregorian calendar to appreciate nature in it's fullest beauty!

They call it the 'Spring Clean'. It's the time of the year when people are meant to have a big clear out and tidy up of their rooms/houses etc!

Personally, I'm tidy all of the time (yeh right!) but I know many people swear by this significant annual clean!

With the increase of daylight hours in everyone's lives... there comes a downside! You lose an hour's sleep! D'oh!

I'll admit, I ALWAYS get stung by this - it seems to just take my by surprise every year!

Well... not this year!! I'm going to ease into it and go to bed slightly earlier each day the week before so my body will naturally adapt!

Having said that, I won't manage it... I'm too addicted to Squidoo for that! But it was a nice thought all the same!

The sooner we get through Spring, the more chance their is of UK Sunshine! Ok, I know it's a slim chance that we will have a prolonged period of sun - but how can you get through life without some kind of optimism!?

Strongly linked to the point above, Spring can often lead to my much preferred time of year - t shirt and short weather! Wohoooo!!

If you've been to the UK before though... you'll know this doesn't really happen too often - so please forgive my excitement at the prospect!

Now you've seen my view of some of the best features of Spring - it's time to find out what your feelings are towards Spring! Is it the best season? Or do you prefer one of the others?! LET'S DEBATE!!

Is Spring the Best Season?

These may (or may not!) be useful to you, but what the devil, I thought I'd put them on here anyway!

Would love to hear from you as to your thoughts on Spring - how different is Spring to you than the one I described in the photos above? Is it your favourite season?

Maybe you just want to share some thoughts on this page. Either way, any comments would be warmly received :)
