Catch-up time for Paula’s February Month of Love challenge!
And what do you know?? All my loves for this post start with the letter S, which is the subject of /Lens-Artists Photo Challenge!
Feb. 23: I love…sunsets (and sunrises, although I’m hardly ever awake for those! đ ).
Feb. 24: I love…spring! I already included summer as one of my loves, but the spring is special too, because it is the season of hope and anticipation. The cycle of life begins, emerging from winter snow and cold, producing new life in flora and fauna. Last spring, I took photos of my daffodils on the side of my house in March, from shoots to blooms.

Feb. 25: I love…singing. I never had good manual dexterity to play an instrument but I’ve always loved to sing. When I was a young adult and needed a spiritual outlet, I turned to singing by joining a community choir. After moving to Des Plaines, I joined the choir at First Congregational Church and still participate in that! It’s rather hard during the pandemic to do group singing, but we use Zoom and a music software called Upbeat to practice and then record the pieces we sing. So I’d like to end with a song about singing (with a virtual choir that may also use Upbeat software!):
Wanderlust & Wonderment 
Sunsets, spring, and singing…all wonderful S words. I like how you framed the challenge around things you love. Your flower images remind me how much I want spring to come! The virtual choir was great, too!
Thank you, Patti! It was convenient to have two challenges to fulfill at the same time! đ
Wonderful ‘s’ s!
