As much as I tend to complain about the extreme heat of summer and bone chilling temperatures of winter, I really enjoy the changing of the seasons. That’s not to say I wouldn’t enjoy living somewhere with a temperature consistently in the 60s, but there is something magical every time the temperature changes and there is that first peek at a new season. So, when Booked.net and Andrea from World Walk About asked me to take part in the blogger promotion “Capture the Seasons”, I was happy to accept.
The premise of the game is simple. Post a photo that you think captures the essence of each season along with a caption that tells how you realize the seasons have changed. This is my entry in Booked.net‘s “Capture the Season”.
Winter
I realize it is winter when…I trade in my light coat for for fluffy, down filled one and get ready to sled. Well, maybe the second part of that sentence hasn’t been true for a decade or so, but growing up a Michigan the first snowfall and trip to the sledding hill was a good indication that winter had arrived.
Spring
I realize it is spring when…the flowers start to bloom. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. The air starts to warm, and you can feel the excitement in the air. Patios open up, picnics in the park are had, and the cherry blossoms bloom.
Summer
I realize it is summer when…the beaches get crowded. I’m a slave to the sun and could spend hours floating in any body of water. I count down the days until it’s warm enough to hit the beach and that’s when I really know it’s summer.
Fall
I realize it’s fall when…the leaves start to change and college football season begins. Fall is my favorite season. I love sweaters, chunky scarves, boots, pumpkin, hot coffee…and most of all I love college football season and cool, football Saturdays beneath red and orange leaves.
I now nominate Sheryll of The Wanderlust Project, Rachel and Jeff from World Flavor, and Jessica from Curiosity Travels.
Which is your favorite photo? What is your favorite season?
I love the cherry blossoms photo – to me, they’re the quintessential spring flower – so fresh and pretty.

Thank you! And I completely agree- I’m slightly obsessed with them
The changes in the colours of the landscapemas the seasons change is one of the most amazing things about living in a temperate climate. The reds and oranges of fall are by far the best in my opinion.

The change of colors makes up for the cold winter, in my opinion
The best time of year!
