This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - February Edition, CSS Art: February.
🌿 Inspiration
Nature constantly transforms, and I wanted to capture the change of winter turning into spring using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This project brings the seasons to life with animations, smooth transitions, and interactive elements.

🚀 Journey
This project was a creative challenge! My goal was to make the seasonal shift feel real—from the cold stillness of winter to the warm embrace of spring—using smooth animations, JavaScript timing, and well-placed visual elements.
What I Built
- ❄ Falling Snowflakes – Animated with CSS and stopped dynamically with JavaScript when spring arrives.
- 🌤 Sunrise Effect – A glowing sun appears at the perfect moment for a natural transition.
- 🌸 Spring Awakens – Flowers bloom gradually, adding a soft and peaceful effect.
- ☁ Moving Clouds – Slowly drifting in the sky but disappear when winter fades.
What I Learned
- 🕒 JavaScript Timing – Used
setTimeoutto control when the sun appears and when the snow/clouds stop. - 🎭 Seamless Background Transition – Combined CSS gradients and animations for a smooth effect.
- 💡 Scene Composition – Balancing movement without cluttering the experience.
Proud Moments
✔ The winter-to-spring shift feels natural, thanks to well-timed animations!
✔ Snowfall stops and clouds clear at the right moment, making the transition clean.
✔ The project has a clear beginning and end—unless you refresh to experience it again!
What’s Next?
- 🌿 Adding a gentle breeze effect for extra realism?
- 🌞 Letting the sun slowly set and loop back to winter?
- 🏡 Maybe even birds flying in as spring takes over!
Let me know what you think! Would love to hear your thoughts. 😊
