Beautiful

It is so amazingly, awesomely, mind-blowingly beautiful here right now.  I think today may have been the most beautiful day of the whole year.  Everything is so green, and all the little plants are pushing out their new little leaves, their flowers are blooming, and everything smells amazing.

There is something special about the light that occurs between May and the middle of July.  I'm sure there has to be some scientific reason for why the light is so beautiful, but all I know is everything almost seems to glow.  Meadows shine as I walk past them, and the shadows seem to have more saturation and contrast.  People even look more beautiful right now- I don't care who you are.  Your skin is going to glow on a day like this and you will look more beautiful to me than any other time of the year.

I want to have my camera with me more (and I am loading it in my car tomorrow) but I also don't want to get to so caught up in trying to capture this perfect light that I miss actually living in the moment and really feeling the awe that all of this beauty inspires.
