April 29, 2010 Pink

I always check the grocery store for bargins on their fresh flowers. Today I hit the jackpot! I got a huge bundle of these pretty pinks for just $2. I'm glad I can share them with you!

April 28, 2010 To My Surprise!

Every day on my lunch break I take a 20 minute walk. Now that the weather is nicer I've left the gym behind for the great outdoors. I take my music player and crank up the volume on some good old southern gospel or bluegrass music and get going. It is so nice to get out in the fresh air, sunshine and nature for that 20 minutes. Even a cold windy day beats walking in circles in the gym! A couple days ago I noticed a nest about 4 feet off the ground on this bent over tree branch. I checked inside and there were no eggs. I wasn't sure if this was a newly built nest, but didn't notice the day before. Today as I was walking I was thrilled and surprised to find a mama robbin sitting on the nest. I move slowly as close as I dared (I've started walking with my camera!) and snapped a few before she flew off. I checked the nest for eggs, none yet but I'm hopeful!

April 27, 2010 Without Color

Spring leaves on the tree in my front yard. Trying something different today, some black and white. What would it be like to live in a world without color!

April 26, 2010 Opened My Eyes

These Maple trees just fascinate me. I've walked by these trees for at least two springs and never noticed the blooms that come before the leaves. I love spring, everything is new, fresh, vibrant. The new leaves in spring tend to have a blush, they are so pretty! I think carrying my camera everywhere, thinking about what my pic today should be has opened my eyes to see more of the things that were there all the time!

April 25, 2010 I'm Waiting!

This time of year is one filled with anticipation! Waiting for all the snow to finally be gone. Waiting for the grass to turn green, waiting for the trees to get leaves, perennials to poke their way thru the earth, flowers and trees to bloom, school to be out, migrating birds to stop at my feeders and summer. In the waiting, I've learned not to be so focused on what I'm waiting for that I miss the glory and wonder of today. I take time each day to actively look for the special gifts only this day will hold. I encourage you to try and do the same. You never know what you might find waiting for you!

April 23, 2010 Green Blossoms

Maple tree blossoms. So very delicate, so very green!

April 24, 2010 Someone is watching!

Should I?

Or shouldn't I?

Is anyone watching?

I'll take my chances!


We've all been there, done that haven't we? I know I have. Usually someone is watching!
