Observe.

March 2014, Lake Como, Italy.

Warm breeze, hot sun, surrounded by fog.

The crowd is walking towards the boat and you're taking your time, capturing the moments. Watch everyone rush with their friends in a fast paced walk, look to your left. Beneath all the fog there's a beautiful lake, it's a vibrant blue when the sun pushes through the clouds. Inhale, exhale, relax. Everything is peaceful. There are mountains surrounding you, you can see them through the clouds, just a reminder of how far away from home you really are. The old tree you're approaching is one of the coolest looking trees you've ever seen. From afar it doesn't look like it has much life in it, but as you get closer and closer you see the buds starting to form.

Spring is in the air, and you can sense it.
