Spring has Sprung: Here Are 10 Things you Should Photograph to Celebrate

The first day of spring is basically nature’s grand reopening, and like any good reopening, you should document everything you see, especially the weird stuff. Here are ten things absolutely worth photographing (for scientific reasons of preserving for posterity, obviously).

First, the “confused tree”, you’ve seen ’em, the one that has three leaves and still looks emotionally unprepared for really busting out. 

Second, a squirrel moving in mid-sprint, preferably looking like it just remembered where it hid that acorn from last September.

Third, that one brave flower that bloomed way too early and now regrets everything…even if it’s a weed.

Fourth, capture a puddle. Not just any puddle, this must be a majestic puddle reflecting the sky like it’s auditioning for a nature documentary film. 

Fifth, your shadow, because spring lighting makes everyone look like they have their life together.

Sixth, people wearing wildly inappropriate outfits. The shorts wearer with a winter coat, just in case winter decides to return…suddenly and unexpectedly.

Seventh, a bee. Any bee. Bonus points if it looks slightly offended by your presence.

Eighth, photograph a dog experiencing spring for the first time that day. There will be joy. There will be barking. There may be mud slinging.

Ninth, take a picture of something pastel-colored, because spring has a strict “soft aesthetic” color policy.

Finally, tenth, document yourself sneezing dramatically thanks to pollen in the air, that’s spring’s way of saying, “Welcome back.”

In conclusion, the first day of spring isn’t just about blossoming beauty, it’s about capturing the hilarious transition from “frozen despair” to “slightly warmer confusion.” So grab your camera and embrace the chaos.

Enjoy.
