Capturing fleeting moments

Our memories are never as good as we would like them to be. I cannot tell you how many time photographs have played an integral part in jogging my memory of years past. Just this past week, after a hard rain storm I ran out to capture our cherry blossom tree in full bloom. I wanted to capture its brilliance before the wild spring weather turned its delicate petals into confetti all over our lawn. 

Looking through these photos I am reminded the importance of capturing fleeting moments. Whether it be a tree in full bloom or your constantly growing child, although we intrinsically know these moments won't last sometimes we are slow to capture the moment. Here is to capturing more fleeting moments and being glad we did.
