(For the background of Spring banner above and this photo, I applied Life-n-Reflection's Dust Cloud texture.)

It looks like we may finally get spring in the Northeast after all. Finally, just yesterday, we saw a break from freezing temperatures. After a chilly start in the 20s, the thermometer climbed to 50 degrees. And they tell us that by Monday and Tuesday of this coming week, we should be pushing close to 70! It's like medicine to my soul!! I can't tell you how happy I will be to see green grass and budding trees and flowers once again, to go outside and not tighten up to brace myself against the bitter winds. This winter was brutal and felt like it would never come to an end.
I took a break from my blog last week ... it was my birthday, and it was a big one. Yes, I turned 40, wow. I have to say the number caused me to reflect quite a bit and really think about life, but my husband planned the most absolutely perfect trip for our family which made the actual day (and week) totally amazing. We journeyed (with our girls) to San Francisco for a couple days, then drove the Pacific Coast Highway over two days down to L.A. where we spent the final 2-1/2 days of our getaway. It's been a dream of mine to see the Golden Gate Bridge since I was in 6th grade and he made that dream come true. It was spectacular. Be sure to check back next week, I will be posting some photos of our trip. But for now, here is a photo I snapped along the Pacific Coast. I captured a bit of the rocky coastline as well as this beautiful bright yellow flowering plant. It was most likely a weed, but a welcome sign of Spring, nonetheless.
Today marks the start of the Nurture Photography Spring Challenge with Kristy of Live and Love Outloud, Rebecca of Bumbles & Light and Alicia of Project Alicia. Stop by and link up with them and keep an eye out for great photography tips. I'm also linking up at The Long Road to China for Favorite Photo Friday and Serendipity is Sweet for Friday Photo Journal.
Happy Friday!
