053 - Bzzzzzz

O happy day! I am uncontrollably drawn to photographing flowers, and daisy shaped ones are my favorite. We went to the local garden center last weekend (which was one of the most awesome garden centers I have ever stepped foot in), and came home with amid other things, these beautiful flowers. I'm not really sure what kind they are; I guess I could go digging around in the pot for a label...but it's really not all that important to me.

Since it rained today it was the water droplets on the gerbera daisies that originally drew me out to the deck tonight. However, it was the bee that immediately got my attention once I got outside. It was even kind enough to stay put while I ran back into the house to get a different lens. Plus... it didn't sting me! O happy day!

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I have posted anything, but I'm hoping that will be changing soon. As you know, we have made the trek from Florida up to Ohio. I must say I won't be missing Florida. It's a great place to visit, but I'm a Midwest girl at heart and just never felt at home there. However, I will miss the friends I made and hope we will meet up again someday.

Ohio is lovely. We have moved into a small town that feels very much like my hometown back in Wisconsin. The weather alternates between beautiful blue skies and rain, which is typical for spring. Averaging about 70 degrees. No humidity! YAY! Flowers are blooming everywhere and the yards in our neighborhood are just incredible.

Our yard was torn up and re-seeded so we don't yet have flowers, but Melissa got me a pot of Calla Lilies for Mother's Day. So pretty, so I thought I would share...

032 - Yellow roses

The rose bushes in the front yard are blooming like CRAZY!

029 - Spring flowers

An absolutely gorgeous day today! Blue sky, high 70's, light breeze and no humidity. Perfect. We visited the Lowe's today and got 2 truckloads of mulch and some flowers for the front of the house. Even got a little bit sunburned. Dear friends and family in the great white north...I'm not rubbing it in or anything, I'm just sayin.

028 - Tiny yard flower

We, along with many of our neighbors, have these tiny purple flowers growing all over our yards. Is this a sign of spring? Maybe it's Florida's version of crocus...

Elliott bought me flowers! He's such a sweetie!
