Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature in the high 80's. I was over my parents' house with the D90 and the 55-200mm lens to shoot some peach blossoms in their backyard. They were gorgeous. There were no blossoms last year so I was excited to see them this year especially because this... Continue Reading →
Husband, the kids, and I rode our bikes around the Aurora Reservoir and we are exhausted. The trail is 8 miles around the reservoir but getting there took another mile or two so it was approximately 10 miles total.

This is one happy orchid. It keeps growing. See those buds tucked behind the flowers? That's from the second stalk. There is also a small bud trying to grow in the first talk. Then there this. A third stalk making its way out. My pot has become too small to contain this beauty but I'm... Continue Reading →

I immediately went for the camera. It's not like I don't see these every day. It's just that when I do see them, I... Continue Reading →

At least this afternoon the sky is clear. And, some might consider it warm but it's still chilly to me. Yesterday, I was tired and... Continue Reading →

Spring is so consistent. I wish I was more like her. Kylie loves life and nature. She was so happy to take a photo with this daffodil peaking through the mulch.
My favorite moment inside the butterfly canopy was when I saw these two turtles looking toward the pond. I saw myself in them, except I'm looking toward the beach, with my husband, as we watch the sunset in blazing colors. I think she was overwhelmed with all the butterflies. Her favorite moment was when she... Continue Reading →
