Happy Earth Day everyone! Spring - the first 3 words that come to my mind are renewal, jubilance, and rejuvenation.
I love this time of year (I know, I say that at least once every season!). But it’s true. Watching the Earth come back to life from its Winter slumber is so, well, rejuvenating!!!
Although it can be a back and forth struggle as the two seasons collide and create all kinds of extreme weather. Here in central PA we just had a couple days of freezing temps, crazy winds and anywhere from 1-5 inches of snow reported in various regions following several days of beautiful warm weather, and it’s going to be warm again this weekend… Must be April?!😂.
Doing what I do, between my art and landscaping work, I am generally outside a solid 70-80% of my day and I can tell you there is no mistaking the affects of Climate Change these past few years. I know April can be a turbulent month, but what I have witnessed in this area alone over the last roughly 5 years are not the same extremities I grew up with 30, even 20 years ago.
Alas, this is not a doom and gloom entry. In fact, it is to celebrate the beauty and magnificence of the budding blooms, intoxicating fragrances, and bright fresh green this time of year brings back to us! It’s so, well, jubilant!
I’ll keep this one short, as I know I’ve dumped a lot on you lately. I just wanted to extend Earth Day greetings and say thank you so much to everyone who has been following along on this journey! I have a few more backstories I want to share through May yet but I should have you caught up by then!
And one more note - Lewisburg Art Festival Saturday April 30th!!! Can’t wait to be back after 2 years shut down! I am a corner booth, 518 I believe. I’ll reiterate this again next week sometime as well as give you an initial festival outlook of my upcoming schedule from now through October this year! I so hope to see as many of you as possible again this season!
Alright, enjoy a few of my favorite photographs from my collection that say, well, renewal…
With my utmost gratitude and all my best,
Brandon
