Come on with the Spring!!

I read somewhere that Spring is a reminder that nothing is forever....there is an end; a renewal and a hope.  Stepping outside in my back yard, with the sun beating lightly on my face, and a warm touch to the breeze, I am reminded that Spring is on its way and so are brighter, sunnier days.

I saw this image offered on the CDAC by Zlatoena Designs for the Free Digi Challenge and couldn't pass up coloring it right away - I know, its ultra early, but sometimes we all need a spring in our step :)
