may flowers

we've had a lot of rain in chicago for the past couple weeks.  in fact the sun's been hiding a lot.  i've been feeling exceptionally tired lately and haven't been able to figure out why.  in one of my classes at the gym friday my instructor talked about the possibility of vitamin D deficiency.  i thought that might be it.  i'm trying to be deliberate about getting sunshine, i just don't like taking supplements, unless i have to and i think, the sun will return to us soon!

so the way i see it, we've had enough rain for some BEAutiful may flowers.  i've been looking around and watching the flowers on my block open and it just makes me so happy.  

i started a tradition when i moved into this apartment to do a little photo shoot every season, pick one and put it on my wall.  i like it because it's a reason for me to still enjoy one of my hobbies, photography, (fun fact:  i minored in photography).  i wanted to take all four seasons photos in the same area to show the changing of the seasons.  there aren't many flowers in the area though.  so i feel like i have a dilemma.  i've really been enjoying the flowers and i feel like they're so representative of spring, but i'm torn to sticking with the area i took the photos for winter and fall.  i'm so indecisive by nature so i think i'm just going to have to shoot in both areas and see what i like best.  it's better to have both options available rather than having regret wondering if i would have liked the other one more later.
