The Beauty of Spring

I know it's summer, raging summer in fact, but yesterday I was looking through my photos and fell head over heels in love with this tree blooming in spring. Isn't spring so beautiful?

In all honesty, I find beauty in each of the seasons but I find each season can last a little too long. I think I have a short attention span for weather* and seasons. I think every two months would be good, especially when it comes to summer, my least favorite. Or maybe we could have summer and winter for  two months each and have spring and fall for four months each. Now that's a good idea! What do you think?

Rambling on another topic, I really loved this picture straight out of the camera, but I processed it to bring out the yellow in the sunlight. I love it even more this way. Would you ever want me to share how I use Picnik to process my photos? Yes, I mostly use Picnik and rarely use Photoshop. Is that a terrible thing to confess?
