Spring Full of New Beginnings & The American Goldfinch is Enjoying It

Things finally started to normalize, and I can actually sit and rest before bedtime. To tell you the truth, for me, it was a really nice break from the computer; however, at some point, I started to miss blogging. But sitting in front of the computer for eight hours at work and then at home was not doing me any justice. I think I started to become a computer geek, a virtual friend (I don't mind that part)—yes, the winter was too long, and I was exhausted from posting ideas too.

The spring finally arrived, and it is really starting to be beautiful around here. We now have rain, clouds, sun, and wind—everything the heart desires after a long, cold, and snowy winter—and yes, birds arrived too, as you can see above with one of my new visitors, the American Goldfinch [Carduelis tristis]. My backyard is full of life again. It is a new beginning, and I cannot wait until I can grab my knapsack again with my camera and start photographing birds, or everything else around me. Enjoy life and enjoy everything else that is going to come.

Secondly, I would like to thank everyone for the encouraging comments. We had a family emergency; however, everything is back to normal now. After that, I also took a personal break from blogging to get ready for the spring and complete some new home projects and preparations. I can finally breathe!
