A caress and a consolation

"What delights us in the spring is more a sensation than an appearance, more a hope than any visible reality. There is something in the softness of the air, in the lengthening of the days, in the very sounds and odors of the sweet time, that caresses us and consoles us after the rigorous weeks of winter."
- Philip Gilbert Hamerton

I'd like to think that this is the reason I'm so dissatisfied with all of my photos, 
why something seems to be missing from them - 
it is impossible, after all, to capture the essence of Spring in a photograph.
But I try just the same.
