It has been quite a busy few months for myself with lots of traveling and storm chasing across the Great Plains. I haven't updated with any new posts on here for quite some time so I might as well start where I left off with some spring photos from a couple months ago. I spent some time again this spring at a local nursery in Peoria, IL. It's a favorite spot of mine every spring since it's within 15 minutes of my apartment and always provides some great spring colors. Almost all of the photos in this post I shot at Hoerr Nursery in Peoria, IL as well a local cemetery 10 minutes down the road. It's always great not having to travel far to snap some great photos. Usually, I can't say the same when I'm storm chasing since I'll drive hundreds of miles just to get a handful of decent pics. I've added a good handful of some of my favorite shots from this spring below:

That wraps up my spring photos for this year. The last few months have featured several trips to chase severe storms in the Great Plains and Midwest. I'm still hard at work on several posts that I'll be updating from my travels over the next few weeks as I get caught up. Stay tuned.
