Spring Mosaic and Macros

(photos above from last year's garden)

Are you ready for spring?
Interested in learning when to
prune hydrangeas?
I've written a post on my other blog
complete with photos telling you exactly when to prune what.
(you're welcome, Ma-Ma)

Buds are finally appearing,


plants are pushing up,


unfurling,
making us forget
the harshness of winter.

I'm joining over at Mary's
for her Mosaic Monday.

Indigo

My submission for Indigo.

And I thought the cropped version
would have you wondering...
"What the heck is that?"

So I included a distance shot so
you too could marvel at this
glass sculpture at the
Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Had to wait for a somewhat warm day

to take the kiddos outside for
a Valentine's Day photo.


My bright idea was to have them give
each other a kiss on the cheek
Simple, right?


Um, no.


This is the one shot I got of Lulu
being kissed by Jackie-baby.
Why?
He planted a slobbery one on her.
Boys.
He was thrilled with her disgusted reaction.


Finally, I get some quality shots.
Truly my children do so much better separately.

Enter my husband.
He looks at the kiss shots and
makes some crack about us
living in the south for too long.


My response?
Shut up.
Next year they won't be willing to
stand within five feet of each other.

Happy Valentine's Day to you,
my blogging friends!

Gray

With the color of the week being gray,
I didn't want to shoot the gray sky that
has been lingering here and probably
everywhere else in the country.

So I thought of the elephants at the zoo.
Turns out they aren't fond of gray cold days either.

What do I have that is gray???
I have gray floor pillows from IKEA
and a gray background.
And a pretty cute model.

Sassy, but cute.
