Jump Into Spring
The dreary and melancholic Winter season has passed, bringing forth Spring – a time of rejuvenation, rebirth, and, primarily, warmer weather. The transition has been long awaited by many, who have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to bask in the beauty of the outdoors at a comfortable temperature. Such brings forth a vital question: what can we do to properly enjoy the Spring season and effectively reconnect with nature?
Biking
Any activity that gets you outside and in the fresh air is worthwhile. However, incorporating simple physical activities in these pursuits makes them much more fulfilling. Biking is a low-intensity exercise that can be done independently or with a group of friends, allowing for socialization while enjoying the pleasant Spring weather. Choosing a scenic location to travel through, especially one with overwhelming vegetation that captures the true essence of Spring, is crucial to enhance your biking experience and your appreciation of the arrival of the new season.
Shopping
The greatest burden of Winter is the overwhelming quantity of bulky, thick clothing that must be worn to maintain warmth. The warmth of Spring allows us to free ourselves from the shackles of puffer jackets in favor of lightweight, airy clothing integral to Spring and Summer. Shopping for new, Spring styles is an exciting activity for many. Many popular clothing brands have released their warmer-weather styles that customers are scrambling to purchase. Expanding your wardrobe with new clothing truly brings forth the excitement of Spring, providing a tangible representation of change and transitional growth.
Gardens
Perhaps the most notable aspect of Springtime is the blooming of a variety of intricate and beautiful flowers. Tulips, daffodils, lilacs, and azaleas become largely abundant and display the delicate beauty of Spring – an occurrence that should not be overlooked. There are numerous gardens throughout Long Island, such as the Long Island Tulip Festival, that enhance the naturally occurring charm of Spring flowers, growing the plants in abundance to be admired by customers. Visiting these gardens offers a true representation of Springtime beauty. Furthermore, these expansive flower gardens offer a great location for taking pictures to be shared with others.
Springtime is a largely anticipated season, succeeding the dread of Wintertime. Even despite this, Spring, in itself, is a uniquely gorgeous time of the year. Immersing oneself in the beauty of nature’s rebirth is a rewarding experience that can greatly improve one’s mood and their appreciation of the world around them.
