Welcome to my world!

Maybe mine. Maybe yours.

Day 58...On The Go
Day 58
Today was one of those busy, rushing, in a hurry kind of days.
Not a bad day, not at all.
It was a good day, just a little rushed.
The kind of day where you feel like you didn't have time
to stop and smell the roses (or even eat.)
After I got home and we were on our way to dinner,
I was really glad I was the passenger and had my camera in my lap.
I said to my husband that it was such a pretty sunset,
(not necessarily spectacular but I like when the rays shine down through the clouds)
...He said to me ....
Every sunset is beautiful, Hon.
A simple statement but he meant it sincerely and I realized how true it is.
Every sunrise and sunset has it's own special beauty when we take the time to notice.
Day 57...Bradfords and Pines
Day 57
The beauty of this scene was too much to ignore...
At least for me it was.
I wonder how many people pass by and never really notice.
The old saying is very true...
"Take time to stop and smell the roses"
(and even the stinky Bradford Pears)
:)
Pine Cones? I don't know much about Pines.
I've never really paid attention since I don't have Pine cone producers in my yard but...
is it the right time of year for this?
Day 56...Odd Mix
Day 56
Today I have an odd mix of photos.
When you have no plan, you just never know what will catch your eye...
or who's eyes might catch you!
Caught by their watchful eyes, with my camera in hand...
not the best photos but I wanted to share what I got to see this evening!
There were eight and they were very curious about us. I'm surprised I caught a photo at all.
I know we startled them as we drove up into a parking lot area and there they were.
I didn't even have my camera turned on yet
and scrambled with my settings trying to catch a decent shot.

(♪ grazin" in the grass it's a gas, baby can ya dig it ♪)
It didn't take them long to scurry on down the hill
and one by one they leaped into the trees.
and one by one they leaped into the trees.
We interrupted their evening meal.
They were scared and ran fast!
A little bit of garden green
AND...
I went looking once before,
but I found it today... :)
The pencil shaped cell tower!
Day 55...Stinkin' Beautiful
Day 55
There's no denying the beauty of Bradford Pears. They're gorgeous.
Simple beauty.
Like puffy white clouds that for a brief time settle to the ground.
I love looking at them.
BUT...
Oh, do they stink!!!
What a spoiler!
So today, what did I do but go get up close and personal with one of these "stinkers."
Here's a few close up shots of a tree in the parking lot at work.
Day 54...Spring Break
Day 54
This afternoon after putting the little "Do-Da" (as PaPa calls all the grandbabies)
down for his nap, I grabbed my camera and headed out my backdoor for a few minutes.
I took a break, a Spring break, right in my own back yard! :)
The joy that the first Daffodil brings is a really nice feeling.
I don't have many in my yard but I have a few and some are in bloom!
I also have a Magnolia tree that I love.
To be honest, it probably needs to come out.
It's blooms are very sparse and there is some dead wood also
but I just can't bear to let it go.
I know it's been here in my yard for many years
and for some reason,
I've been really attached to it since we moved in here six years ago.
I'd never smelled them before until we moved here.
There's nothing like it! Wonderfully delicious!
My Forsythia bush is just beginning to bloom also
but I thought I'd just save that one for another Spring break!
Happy Spring Everyone!
