The Color of Spring

I went out for coffee with a fellow photographer, Nancy Orozco, a couple of days ago. We have been trying to meet every week or so to talk business, brainstorm, and basically keep each other accountable in getting things done. Not only is she beautiful, she has a great eye for photography and a head for business. It’s been very encouraging to talk to her.

She showed up on Wednesday in this cute spring outfit… nothing really special, just jeans and a cute top and some sandals. And there I sat in my black polo shirt and black shoes feeling very “wintery”. Seeing her I thought I really ought to get out and buy at least a pair of sandals. The weather has been in the 80′s all week and I know it won’t get that cold again so it’s time.

I ended up at Kohl’s yesterday and found some cute sandals, but then had the thought that my feet looked horrible. Months of running, wearing tennis shoes, walking all over… not pretty. Now, you have to understand that I never get pedicures. I don’t feel comfortable spending money on myself. I remembered, though, that I had some Christmas money sitting on my desk that I had been saving for something… wasn’t sure what, but I wanted it to be something I wouldn’t normally do. The pedicure was it.

What a wonderful treat. Now I feel like I my feet can actually be seen in public without shame or embarrassment. Happy Spring!

It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
