Lincoln/Douglas Debate Malt or Milkshake
Backyard Blue Bells
Day 141 – The garden continues to come alive with color and I just can’t resist taking the camera out there.
Bird in Motion
Day 140 – I was walking around the yard enjoying this lovely spring day. This little fellow sat perched on the bush for a while and just when I felt sure enough to snap the shot, he took off. Luckily I caught him just in time.
Slide Show
Day 138 – Does anyone else remember Saturday night slide shows? The hum of the circular carrier and the smell of heat from the lamp, the occasional backwards or upside down slide, and of course, the endless viewing of unknown places and faces from your parents’ past.
Wanderlust
Day 135 – I dream of distant shores where the world is new and nothing is so familiar as to be taken for granted.
Daffodil
Day 133 – I knew a woman who loved daffodils. She painted them on sheets of shale with delicate calligraphy.
Faded Flowers
Day 132 – Another day spent in the garden and then in the photo studio. These beautiful pink tulips are really vibrant but I had fun adjusting the colors and texture of the photograph. I can’t wait for the irises to bloom this summer.
Garden Blossoms
Day 131 – The garden is bursting with beautiful colors. I had a hard time picking out my favorite today. I chose the little grape hyacinth since blue is my favorite color.
Nun’s Orchids
Day 130 – Nun’s Orchids using a few filters and color adjustments.
Skyscrapers
Day 125 – This bright and beautiful day brought out the forsythia blooms. Did you know that the forsythia is a flowering member of the olive family?
