I took these photos a few weeks ago in our garden and didn’t get a chance to post them until now. The sour cherry trees were full of flowers, the lilac trees were sprouting leaves, the ladybugs had started to come out, the dandelions were in bloom (I love dandelions), the strawberries and tulips were blossoming as well, and a few more flowers whose names I don’t know were looking quite pretty. Enjoy!
It was touch and go for a while this year, wasn’t it? We weren’t sure when Old Man Winter would go and Spring would finally be here to stay. I think we’re pretty safe now that the first blossoms are starting to come in.
Our apricot tree is in full bloom. The sweet cherry tree is also starting to blossom. No sign yet on the sour cherry trees. And of course the spring flowers are out, as you’ll see in the photos from our garden.
Enjoy!
Here are a few photos of spring, captured on 35mm film with an Exakta EXA Ia camera. They were taken in Grosvenor Park and Rock Creek Park, MD.
Ever wondered what it’s like to fly in a propeller plane over the Nevada and Arizona deserts and over the mountains in Grand Canyon National Park? This is what it’s like.
And here are a few photos as well. Enjoy!
We had a wonderful time last night, as we counted down the seconds to the New Year and watched the fireworks show put on by the Medias City Hall, followed by a cozy party at our home.
I hope you’ll enjoy the video I recorded during the fireworks. It was freezing outside, which is the perfect weather for the holidays. On a side note, I was a bit let down by the Christmas weather this year. We had a ton of snow in the days before Christmas, then warm weather moved in and melted all of it just before Christmas Eve. At least winter redeemed itself in time for New Year’s Eve, with lots of snow and cold weather to boot. Very nice indeed!
Here are a few photos taken in the last days of 2010. Happy New Year!
