Spring Spiral

I love this shot. Of all the wonderfully creative people I know, and I know some great one's, none of them can design quite like good'ol Mother Nature.  So I challenge any one else out there to find an amazing  spring image that displays your favorite design and color. I am always partial to the sacred spiral... you can find it everywhere... and green, well what more is there to say?

Purrrrrfect

After the Parade

It was roasty and crowded... the first hot night in a long time for the Lilac Parade. Alix looked great in the night light... making High School memories. I ran through the park following another mom hot on the trail of her kid just to get this shot. The lighting was hard to get anything too great plus following a moving target... this was the only one not too blurry, but it caught the perfect feeling. I like knowing that she will get to see this years later and remember that night.

It's fun capturing moments for your kids.

The rest of the evening walking back to the car, a small adventure in itself, was absolutely beautiful and balmy. The moon was circled by a rainbow ring, and the water was a torrent down the river making crashing waves of white frothy water spraying everywhere. Awesome, and kind of scary the feeling... it's power so fierce it commanded an instantaneous respect.

A fun night with my camera, and a semi-patient husband indulging me in my frequent halts to snap one off. I think I might roam more often at night, it's a whole different world of light that intrigued me and my camera. 

A Trip To The Nursery

BJ the bird greeted us at the door  and offered to pose for a picture quite graciously, then did a little clowning.

Shocking reds... the perfect lipstick color, were glowing they were so vibrant, and the smell of the  moist intoxicating air was like a mini vacation. I could have laid on a lounge all day right in the middle of it all... "A Margarita Please?"

Note the lovely model in the latest of floral hair accessories. Isn't she splendid in pink!

We found ourselves in a mini version of Arlington Cemetery. 
Thanks Upriver Nursery, I had a lovely visit!
