La Couleur de Printemps

After a long cold winter and an even longer cold wet spring (at least it seemed that way to me) the colors and “first green” that appear are both amazing and beautiful to me. Breathtaking at times. I love capturing them with a camera, and it’s amazing the great shots a person can take withContinue reading “La Couleur de Printemps”

>Floral Beauty (despite the cold weather)

> This time of year when I see flowers poking up through the still-brown leaves and other debris from winter they look especially beautiful to me…almost illuminated against their drab backdrop.

It snowed yesterday for the first time this season, this is a picture of it last night. There are only a couple inches of snow, which in this area of the world is nothing to get worried about. But it seems so magical to me…those first few times it snows. I love the different seasons…itContinue reading “First of the Season”
