Today I’m sharing my favorite 2021 Vermont Signs of Spring Photos. This year more than usual, photographing the signs of spring life returning has brought hope and a grounded feeling.

On a late fall run through the woods, I could feel that our fall 2020 rhythm wasn’t healthy and yet I wasn’t sure how to shift … My thoughts wandered to the idea that connecting with our own natural, healthy rhythms will still help us in difficult times. I began planning a move away from virtual learning and back to learning in real life at home.

When I got into photography it was to stop time and capture images of my beautiful babies for whom I was so thankful. As the kids grew to school age, photography taught me some things about being present, finding beauty and being grateful.

It is a strange twist of fate that a global pandemic hit as I was coming out of the dark fog of PTSD.
