Summer Sweetness - Little Miss E

Summer...garden time takes over blogging time, apparently.

You'll forgive me when you see the sweetness I'm about to post.

Meet little Miss E...


I can barely take all the cuteness...


the hand...posing already


the joy


the concentration...


Momma's pearls


even the butterflies know to show up when there is this much sweetness...




Such a kind and beautiful family...
no wonder Miss E is SO happy!


The only trouble was narrowing down the number of shots to post!

Thank you so much to the "V" family
for allowing me the honor of
photographing your daughter.

Thanks for visiting!

Spring Joy

Spring...so many things to

be happy about


fresh from the garden
the first strawberry of the season,


delicate strands of
bleeding hearts,


the warmth of sunshine,


the perfume of lilacs.

Baby Z - Under the Category ADORABLE

Remember this little guy?


He's become this adorable
chunk - of - love.


I am going to have to use some self control with this post.


Because

I


can't seem


to get

enough


of

him.


Makes you wanna reach into the screen and
pinch those chubby cheeks, doesn't it?

Have a beautiful day
and
thanks for visiting!

Self Portrait

Self portrait...
and a LOT of thanks to photoshop!

Inspired by the incredible Caroline (blog link) when
I took her class: Just Shoot Me.

I can't tell you how much I got out of her 4-week class.
Actually, I can...read my testimonial here.
You can check out more details from the button
on my sidebar or click the Just Shoot Me link above.

She only takes five students a month, so
sign up quickly - May is fast approaching!

P.S. I do not get a commission or anything
like that for this post.

Fairy Mosaic

You know it's spring when the fairies
start taking their bubble baths
in the tulips...
and when the lilac buds
begin to appear.

Just something different I was
challenged to try.
It's a good thing to try
something new and different.
Don't you think?

Thanks for visiting and be sure to visit
other mosaic loveliness
over at Mary's!

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.
