Smell-o-vision
Day 147 – The lilac bush is blooming and it smells so sweet. I wish we had smell-o-vision.
Lincoln/Douglas Debate Malt or Milkshake
Day 142 – Freeport, Illinois is the site of the famous Lincoln/Douglas debates. It is also the site of the slightly less famous “Union Dairy” ice cream shop.
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.
Onda Blomma
Day 134 – I thought the underside of this lovely tulip looked like a monster face with a long nose, so I decided to have some fun with it. The title “Onda Blomma” is Swedish for “Evil Flower”.
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?
Renewal
Day 123 – Spring time renewal. It’s good to see new blossoms on the old looking vine.
