Bansantaritu Odia Essay "Spring season " is one of the four temperate seasons, sitting between winter and summer.Contrary to a common misconception, the idea of spring is not universal. It changes depending on your specific location, culture and traditions. For example, when spring starts in the Northern Hemisphere, it's fall in the Southern Hemisphere - and vice versa. So, if you were living in New York, you'd be used to the idea of Easter eggs and bunnies coinciding with spring. An idea that won't work with the reality of spring in a country like New Zealand, where it happens in September. The spring season's meaning often goes beyond the scientific. It's meaning doesn't just refer to the season that acts as a farewell to winter and heralds the arrival of summer. Neither is spring confined to the idea that it's a biological marker for migratory animals. In many cultures spring has been celebrated with rites and festivals revolving around its importance in food production. In European languages, the concept of spring is associated with the sowing of crops. During this time of the year all plants, including cultivated ones, begin growth anew after the dormancy of winter. Animals are greatly affected, too: they come out of their winter dormancy or hibernation and begin their nesting and reproducing activities, and birds migrate poleward in response to the warmer temperatures.
