Spring Is Here

I can’t tell you how much I love the sunshine. I’m not the kind of person that would do well in a gray area. A place where the sun didn’t shine for months on end. I wouldn’t last. I just wouldn’t.

This weekend was blue skies and warm sunshine. I loved it. Although I had a million things to do around the house, we packed up a picnic and made the beautiful trek out to Tennessee Valley on Sunday. It was such a great day to be out and a ton of other people had the same idea. But, it didn’t matter. It didn’t feel crowded.

We saw a bunch of wildlife. Deer were out grazing, a bobcat was wandering the hillside and Mason found a super fuzzy caterpillar. We hiked out to the beach where we had a picnic lunch and the boys played in the sand. Bliss.

I made a couple of rock sculptures and then had fun photographing them with Matt’s iphone and the “hipstamatic” app. I’ve been riding the wave of my Blackberry for a couple of years now. Loving it as much as my favorite scarf that I wear even when it’s hot. But, I’m being tempted by the iphone. I did pretty well though, I have to say. I’ve resisted the temptation for some time. Now that I’m wanting to sync my computer and business to my phone more than I have in the past, the answer seems to be….the iphone.

My time is due for an upgrade at the end of the month so I’m starting to get excited. I’ve been looking at some cases and have one that I like…

If anyone has any other suggestions I’m all ears. And speaking of suggestions, I’m curious what your favorite apps are. I haven’t even started looking at what’s available. I think I’ll start with recommendations first and then take a look when I have some time later.

I leave with two of the shots from our outing at the beach. Happy Springtime everyone!
