Shutter Sisters

can you picture spring yet?

By

Are you as eager for spring as I am? Even beyond the weather, I am excited to announce the BIG thing that’s will be starting on April 1st: Picture Spring! In true Shutter Sisters’ style I will be leading a 30-day photo project to celebrate the season of promise and renewal.

Picture Spring is a daily e-class, hosted over at the ever-fabulous Big Picture Scrapbooking that will awaken your creative spirit and open your heart and mind to all the wonders that the spring has to offer. One picture at a time. 

Pop over to the Picture Spring registration page for more details and sign up if you’d like to join us. Spread the word. Invite friends. Grab a button (see it over there on our sidebar? cute, huh?). Tweet it. Retweet it. Call your sister. The more the merrier! It’s going to be a perfect way to grow and bloom this spring, cameras in hand. I can’t wait!

And just to help get the snow melting (come on spring!) we’re giving away 3 registrations today!

Share your pictures or words that sing of spring today (albeit a little early) and you’ll be entered to win one of the complimentary registrations for the soon-coming Picture Spring.

  9. Here in Delaware, spring seems so far away! We just had about 25 inches this past weekend and currently we are in the beginning of ANOTHER storm. So, any flowers are certainly hibernating right now. I’m getting plenty of practice taking snow scenes!

  11. "O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down
    Thro’ the clear windows of the morning, turn
    Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
    Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!"

    To Spring by William Blake

    I am anxiously awaiting Spring’s arrival…

  19. Here in Maine, we have a long way to go before Spring, but amazingly, so far, we’ve had a much milder winder than the Mid-Atlantic. Many of my friends are actually WISHING for snow when usually this time of year, we just can’t wait for it to be gone. My favorite Spring thing to do this time of year is to obsess over my seed catalogs and plan my garden.

  21. Spring is here
    the grass is ‘ris’
    I wonder where
    the flowers is?

    Your post brought this memory to the surface–my mom reciting this poem and me thinking she was so "dorky". Now I recite the poem to my kids and they think I’m "lame"! Lame or not, I’m ready for spring!

  25. As I look out the window here and see a white sheet of snow falling sideways, spring feels very, very far.

    That said, I can’t wait for spring. I’ve had enough of these blizzards!

    In San Francisco in January, it might as well have been spring! (At least compared to the Ice Age that is Washington DC right now). http://www.dashily.com/home/?p=327

  30. what a wonderful idea! i had to dig a bit, but found a few spring photos from years past…

    and this poor darling, which would have been a beautiful image if i’d have tamed my heavy editing hand years back, wish i had the original to re-edit! personal style certainly does change quickly when one is learning…

  35. I’d love to win this class… I haven’t been taking pictures much lately (worried about taking my equipment outside in The Weather), but I want to start back up again. Spring’s a good time for new beginnings!

  43. yes, Yes, YES, I can picture Spring. Oh, it would be so wonderful to take this e-course. And doubly…no, exponentially wonderful to win a registration.

    Coincidentally, yesterday on my blog II started a photo gallery collection, "Spring in February": http://greensandberries.squarespace.com/picture-gallery/spring-in-february/

  46. OH I so love spring.This AM I woke up to a sound I hadnt heard in awhile. I stopped,listened and took a deep breath. What was that music being played outside. The most beautiful sound to cold frozen ears.Beautiful birdies in my neighbors tree.All singing together. Mind you come later in the spring and there are hundreds it gets a little much.But this AM,,they were singing , I was listening,,and I couldnt get them in the photo,but I took this one the other day. Buds on the trees!!! Spring is most definately around the corner. Enjoy it all and remember to listen and take a deep breath. http://www.flickr.com/photos/debbsga/4341374371/?edited=1

  70. Oh what a fun class that will be!

    Spring is still quite a ways away here – we still have LOTS of snow on the ground but I can’t wait for spring to arrive. It is my favorite season.

  72. well i would love nothing more than a little piece of spring to come my way alas we will still have winter here for at least 6 weeks more. but i clearly remember my first spring sighting last year. while my home was still buried under snow we took a trip into the city and i saw them, witch hazel trees in bloom! it was the prettiest yellow ever.
