Just as winter is reserved the grandeur of whole cities covered in snow, autumn the richness of fragrances and tastes and summertime the blessing of the sun, springtime is, above all, simply inspiring. If there is one season pushing us to go outside and awakening our adventure spirit, that can only be spring.

With all the songs, paintings and love poems praising the spring, no matter that this season often seems over-saturated with romanticism. But it is equally true that there is no better time to let yourself guided by inspiration, grab a camera and let loose the artist within. Traveling across Southern USA, you will discover the most amazing, breathtaking spring sceneries:
