Fun and Easy Spring Photo Tradition

These days it’s hard to go more than a block without noticing the beautiful blooming trees and emerging daffodils and tulips.  Why not capture these to enjoy throughout the year and start a new annual spring tradition!

Take your camera and snap photos of your favorite colors.  Try taking close-up shots of blossoms or full-frame shots of a daffodil.  If you have children or a pet, why not include them in front of a lush bush or among a bunch of tulips?  Let your creativity flow, and try interesting angles, or unusual framing.
 

After you’ve evaluated the photos, choose your favorites.  Then group 4 or 6 in a neat square or rectangle on a hallway wall.  Choose matching 8x10 frames that work with your home’s décor, black, brushed nickel, white, chocolate brown, whatever works best in your home.

If you didn’t include family or pets in the original photos, why not take recent photos (maybe a Spring school photo) of your family and intersperse them with the beautiful blooms.  This is a fun and unique way to display your latest portraits.

And, to take this tradition beyond an annual event, why not update the wall each season; when the foliage changes to the lush greens of summer, or to the striking burnt oranges and yellows of fall or the beautiful, stark landscape of winter?
