Spring in Africa

We look around and we flower blooming, the grass is turning green, leaves are sprouting on the trees, its getting warm and everyone seems to be happier. That only means one thing. SPRING! Its springtime and everything seems to be coming to life. Spring is my favorite season and I have only seen it happen in one place. Iowa. I wondered what Spring looked like in Africa.

Spring lasts from August to mid October, so to my surprise they haven't even experienced Spring yet.

During Spring flowers bloom and its said that Spring is nowhere as beautiful as it is in South Africa. The spring season is very short and some countries do not recognize spring as one of their seasons. Like Ethiopia who has an all year round temperature and has a wet and dry season. Even if they don't recognize spring as a season there is still a time for flowers to bloom and fields to be planted. Really, spring here is a lot like it is there, it just happens at different times and may disappear or arrive more quickly. It is not as significant there as it is here, yet it is still beautiful.

A lot of people don't look at the beauty that Africa has, the land, its wildlife, it nature, its people. With the world only focusing on Africa in a negative way, spring is the start of a new year, new growth, and new hope.
