spring has sprung

I've finally moved to first shift. I'm doing surprisingly well, considering I spent the last 9 months working 3rd shift and had only 1 day off before starting my 6am-2pm schedule. I think I finally found my niche.

And here's one of my favorite pictures I've taken at Lake Kegonsa State Park this year. The colors turned out amazing, and I didn't even use a polarizing filter or edit the picture at all!

I feel so happy and content lately, without any real reason for it. I love spring and all the beauty in nature that goes along with it, so I've been spending a lot of time hiking around State Parks, reflecting on my life. And I have the most adorable rabbit with such a fun personality, so he keeps me pretty darn happy.

I went to the UW-Arboretum on Sunday, 5/15 and saw the most beautiful sunset!

I drove out to Roche-A-Cri State Park on Monday but accidentally left my camera battery at home, still charging. :( At least I had my phone to take a few pictures.

changes

April is finally over, so I feel like I can breathe again. I can't wait until I move into my new schedule. There is something brewing inside me - I can tell this is going to be a big year for me.

Now for one of the absolute favorite photos I've ever taken... taken at the Milwaukee County Zoo in 2010, with my good dSLR. <3
