Tree Buds

Finally it is Spring-time in the Midwest! We still do not have leaves on the trees though, they're just starting. Spring is my favorite season, I love when the weather starts getting nice, everything comes back to life, and flowers start to bloom. It is so bright and pretty.

 The teepee was while attending the Past Passed here event in town

Our Yard Friends

We have tons of birds in our backyard along with some other little critters. The chipmunk actually lives IN the house somewhere in the roof or something...

Spring Sunset Take 1

The other night I went out to shoot the sunset. Usually doing photography calms me down but it was a night of missed opportunities so it was frustrating   I find that photography is a lot about the timing and that night I was a few minutes too late for the nice sunset pictures. I also missed the train on the tracks BY the beach, and just missed some birds coming in for a landing. I got a few nice shots for the night but nothing that I'm blown away by though. The sunset wasn't one of the prettier ones so I will be going out for another Spring sunset shoot, maybe once the ice melts off the lake.

Birds in Contrast

These 2 pictures remind me of my cousins' Melissa & Molly. I always think of them when I see certain bird artwork.

My favorite color

I love all shades of teal/aqua/turquoise, whatever the name is. I'm not a big fan of loud, bright colors so this color family is perfect for me. It can be bright, or subtle. Besides, I love the ocean and water and this reminds me of it.
This is one of my favorite necklaces, I always get compliments while wearing it.

Sunrise on the Atlantic

I am so tired of this weather, as I am sure everyone else is!  I'm tired of looking and taking Winter scene photos. So, I dug into some old photos that I took before  I started this blog. These pictures were taken with the cool-pix camera that I lost in the snow.  I will be SO happy once it is Spring and Summer. So many more things I can take pictures of, plus that means more road-trips!
These photos are from 2009 on the Atlantic Ocean, at Cape Henlopen, DE. Hubby and I first went there on our 1st Wedding Anniversary. I decided to look into a place we could camp by the Ocean and I found this place. I am so glad we ended up there because we went back a handful of times while living in Maryland. It was one of our favorite spots to go.
I do miss going to the ocean.
