Flowers are splashing beauty all around, blossoming in the best colors found in the lap of Mother Nature. The trees spread out their arms towards us and thrill us with the leaves in fresh colors. Spring is the time after winter and before the summer, when the vegetation begins to appear. It is one of the most breath-taking beautiful times of the year when beauty finds its homage in flowers, buds, petals, leaves and twigs. You  are likely to fall in love with the views which are present during spring.

Winters are the time when we just sit under the quilts and don’t feel like coming out. Lethargy grows as a habit in our daily routine. Sitting near the mantelpiece for hours, eating all the nuts to keep us warm, wearing clothes that seems to be heavier than us are the things which everyone is doing around. After the winter, the spring arrives which awakens a sense of cheerfulness around us.
