Still Life with Strawberries - William Hammer (1874)

    Earlier today I was thinking about spring. The gentle blooming season is almost never praised enough for what it offers. I especially love the beginning of spring: the cool, chilly air and light breeze, the swaying trees, the warm sun rays, the feeling of carefreeness and hope in one's stomach, the jolly white butterflies, the sound of laughter, tasty cherries and sweet strawberries, golden and shiny locks of hair. The long awaited anticipation of summer, that swirly, bubbling sensation of longing. A time of waiting and hoping, a time of passage, a blooming flower. Happiness.
