“Aren’t Daisies the Friendliest Flower?”

Like a Feather
I’m slowly working my way through the 290 photos I took over just 2 days …wow … too bad I have to go to work!
Spontaneous!
A Spontaneous 24 Hour Vacation = Many, Many Photographs to edit!
It’s going to take me awhile to review, delete, edit and post even just a few of them. Until then, this photo perfectly expresses the peace (and lovely fatigue) that I feel after an unplanned mini-getaway!
One Stormy Day in May: From the Office
How fortunate am I to have this view when I leave my office at the end of each day?
These two photographs are very similar but one emphasizes the green and the other, the impressive cloud formations from all the storm activity we’ve been having here in SWVA.
Yesterday, I posted photos taken during this same storm system. Please look here if you missed them.
A Bit Like Snow
And almost cold enough for it!!
Unexpected Result!
Focus on Dogwood Blooms
The day started with the sun shining brightly, but the wind made it feel so cold. As the hours went by, the chores were completed, the temperature warmed, and the chance to focus on photography finally happened!
And finally … a few Bradford Pear blooms
The Colors of …
You thought I’d be posting pictures of spring flowers, right? With all those bright, beautiful colors?
So what do I do instead?
I post pictures of a tree … an old tree, one covered with lichen, fungi, and damage.
But check out the colors!
This last one is from a tree felled by a recent storm.
From the Deck: The New River
The snow has stopped and spring has truly arrived! It’s time for motorcycle rides, outdoor festivals, baseball games (that’s for you, Ralph), and Happy Hours out of doors. Okay, and yard work.
Bull & Bones at the River (http://www.bullandbones.com/?q=river) has a wonderful deck overlooking The New River and it’s a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine with friends at the end of a long day at work. And of course, the early evening light is perfect for photography.
The Colors of Nature (and the new bike!)
It was a beautiful evening … one of those times when the light captures the colors of nature perfectly! I met with Pam to enjoy a glass or two of wine after work and the view was our reward for working hard (well, the view AND the wine AND the friendship).
Purple and Gold
Green and Silver
Blue and Rust
Amber and Grey

I wish I could say that I took these pictures while on a bike ride …
BUT
At least I CAN say that I at least have the new bike!!!
Oh Happy Day!
