Christmas in Spring

This pine tree looks like it's decorated for Christmas. It is so gorgeous, I don't know how to photograph it to do it justice. I took several full tree shots, but I think this close up reflects the lovely colors and shapes best.

Spring Leaves

There is nothing more glorious than fresh new leaves sparkling in the sun. I stood underneath this oak tree with the morning sun shining through them. I really like the shadow patterns played against the edges of the leaves.

Georgia O'Keefe

One of my favorite painters is Georgia O'Keefe, and this iris reminds me so much of her famous painting. It is sensuous and painterly, and hard to believe it is real. Found it growing by my neighbor's mailbox.

Good Smells

Every day I take a walk past this cedar tree surrounded by Lily of the Valley. There is something about the patterns there, and of course the luscious smells, that attracts me. This is a dark spot, so I went early in the morning when the light would help out.
