Bird Alert

On the front porch is this hanging pot of lovely petunias. Mom went over to water it one day and a bird flew out of it! After restarting her heart, she peeked into the pot and noticed two little white eggs. So not only are there robins in the back, there are mourning doves in the front! It's bird central over here!

Robin's Egg Blue

This is the "before" picture. Mom found the nest by our back porch recently with these little tiny eggs in it. It's not hard to guess what type of birds will hatch from these!

Beauty

One of my challenge words is "fade." I was mesmerized by the way the color fades from the petal tips to center.

Get Ready for Flowers

There's going to be a lot of flowers posted pretty soon. C'mon, it's spring!

Cell Phone Art

These phones are about 5 years old, which means they are ancient. Too bad none of my challenge words are "obscure" or "old-timey." Arrangement is on my list, so I'm crossing it off!

Photograph These Words

I've given myself an assignment. I found a big list of photography-related words, chose 78 of them and I want to challenge myself to take a photo that represents each word. I tried to pick a mixture of words that seem straight forward and some that are a challenge.

Let the challenge begin!

Spring Has Sprung!

There are so many flowers blooming, and it was just the official start of spring a few days ago! It makes me really happy to see the trees starting to green up and flowers starting to get colorful. Does spring make you happy too?!

Baby Plants

I'm growing pepers again this year. I planted seeds just recently and they're already sprouting! Yay for spring and new plants!

Clovers

There are no four leaf clovers in this bunch, but that doesn't mean I can't say Happy St. Patrick's day!

Mod Mirrors

Recently, I was able to visit the Met (AKA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art). We started out in 19th- and early 20th- century paintings but spent a big chunk of time going through the modern and contemporary section. There were a couple of reflective things that I felt like I needed to take my own picture in:


I forget who the artist was of this one, but I know he was very old and from someplace warm, like Italy or the Middle East. There was some very intricate work going on with the curved and cut mirror that was really cool to study.


This was a giant bowl of little hexagons. It felt like looking through a pair of glasses that aren't meant for your eyes. The room that both of these mirrors were in was the best part about the modern art. The rooms we went through later made me angry, as modern art tends to do.
