The color purple

Many of you avid blog-goers out there are probably already familiar with the work of Australian-based photographer Corrie Bond, whose portfolio is endlessly gorgeous and inspiring. I literally gasped when I saw these photos, which were featured in an editorial for Marie Claire Australia. Perfect for spring, aren't they?

A fond farewell

"March comes in with an adder's head, and goes out with a peacock's tail," wrote R.L. Gales in Old-World Essays. Farewell, dear March. I hope that April treats us as kindly as you have.
