The Spring Season

Spring can be seen as a new beginning. Plants and animals alike awaken from their winter hibernation. Flowers like crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils erupt through the ground and welcome the season with their brilliant colors. Trees also blossom and begin to exhibit new leaves. The earth seems to be reborn.
The 1st day of Spring is referred to as the vernal equinox and usually occurs around March 20th in the northern hemisphere and September 22nd in the southern hemisphere. South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand celebrate September 1st as their first day of Spring.

Daylight Savings Time
Daylight Savings Time also starts in the Spring. Clocks are advanced one hour to have more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings. The clock jumps ahead from 02:00 standard time to 03:00 daylight savings time. This day has only 23 hours and the day Daylight Savings Time ends will have 25 hours.

- Great lens. I think we have missed out spring and have gone straight to summer this week in England, although the seasons here are always amusingly confusing.

- I love spring and took advantage of a beautiful spring day today. I went flying kites with a loved friend, took a walk and explored new territory to me, and I spent two hours with 4 horses. Beth, I even got a sun burn on my face. :D

- One of the things I miss about Vermont is the arrival of Spring. Miami doesn't really seem to have a spring. I was able to see some baby anhingas when visiting the Everglades the other day.
