Can You Tell That I'm Just Loving Spring?

April 18, 2011

Oh, God Bless Me, it's another gorgeous morning here in my little part of the world.  Before leaving work this morning, I hopped on over to read Kyra's blog, and now I'm drooling!!  She has posted photos of her garden and all the beaufitul blooms.  You know darn right well that later this morning I am going plant shopping again!!

I think the tree guys are coming this morning to remove the dead trees on the side of the house.  I'll have to get out there with my camera and get a few shots.  After that, it will be time to go for more plants.  I want another of the tree roses to put on the other side of the front steps.  I think that should make it look rather nice.

I have the last two parts of "It's Raining, Duckie Darling!" for you, but first I want to share a couple of photos.  Yesterday morning, after a stormy wet night, this shows the sun coming out from behind the dark clouds to brighten up the day.


Is this not beautiful?  I really must order a new set of filters for my lens.  I do have filters but they do not fit this lens.  Especially the polarize filter, because it would take away the glare and make it easier to get these shots.

The other photo is one I took last night around 9 pm.  I looked out the window, and the moon was simply magnificent!  So big and round and bright!  I went outside to get some photos, but not too many were good enough to share.  These were all hand held, and last night my hands just would not cooperate.  I finally leaned against my car to help keep my arm steady, and got this beautiful shot.


Seeing as how I have a busy day ahead of me before heading back out to work tonight, I best get on to your freebies.  Here are my last two parts of our whimsical April kit, "It's Raining, Duckie Darling."   When you've finished downloading, be sure to visit Su's blog to pick up her two parts.  Enjoy!!


Here are your download links:


Now I'm going to enjoy a delicious hot cup of coffee, and get busy here.  Till tomorrow, Y'all have a fabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

Now YOU get me drooling! I want to go with you for plant shopping!!!!!!!
LOL! I hope you can find what you want and that they will flourish, of course!
I was glad that you weren't in the tornado area! What a terrible mess they make!
Well, have a grat day
Hugs

Edna, I always love your photos! The colors on yesterday's birds were fabulous and the sky shots, WONDERFUL!

We don't see much sun or even any lines to define which cloud is which right now, just dark and dreary skies and rainowush, that fun combination of rain, snow and slush falling in globs that go tick-tick on the windows because some of that slush is frozen pellets. But David and I decided yesterday that we'd rather have snow in April than those awful tornadoes they had in North Carolina. Salting the walk in front of the house is better than not having a house to salt in front of. For once, I'm grateful for the snow!

Get some rest in between those LONG shifts at work!!

Hugs, Nani
