cake, flowers, and birds in love. could that mean anything other than springtime? no way!
kara phillips emailed these lovely images to me after the first real day of spring in minneapolis, and she said:
the whole city seemed to come back to life after months and months of hibernation! Birds chirping, open windows, smiling faces, and bare legs- it makes one feel like everything is going to be right with the world again!
i am in complete agreement! there's something about the warmer weather that seems to make people happier and more alive-- at least i know that's how i am. there are so many blooming flowers and birds chirping in my neighborhood these days that i can't help but feel more cheerful!
you can visit kara's blog to see more of her beautiful illustrations.
*thank you, kara, for sharing your love of spring with us!*

oh, her work is gorgeous! these drawings totally nail that feeling of euphoria from the first real day of spring in minneapolis - we lived there for four years (and loved it), and when that first real spring day arrived after months and months and months and months of winter, that was reason enough to throw a huge party.
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful! i am smitten with these birds in love :)
ReplyDeleteKara's work is gorgeous and represent spring perfectly! And I completely agree that spring makes people happy...even here in the desert where it's still sunny most of the winter you can see a change in people's mood. Yay for spring!
