Archives of Spring

These are a few pictures from my archives of spring. It seems anytime I photograph flowers inevitably there is a spider or a bug peering into the camera lens. And as always being that I'm a quote junkie, I've included a few quotes that I have found inspiring. Hope you are taking time to be creative :)  Have a good weekend! Anni

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people;
