New Flower to The Garden, my neighbor gave me some lily plants from her garden this spring. I put them over by the woods. Well, the deer ate them a couple times as they were starting to grow and they we had a week of late frost when they were just starting to pop up again. So they have not looked very good the last two months. But today I looked out that way and I could see one orange flower as bright as could be.

Amazing how nature finds a way to survive all on its own.

Pink and Green this Wednesday

By Sandra | July 7, 2021

Pink and Green this Wednesday, I planted a couple of wild flower seed packets this year and a couple of the flowers are just starting to bloom. I wasn’t sure they were going to make it. I am having unusual luck with my garden this year. Things are growing much better than expected. I have been able to pick produce out of it every day. Such a wonderful feeling to be able to do that.

Selective Color with Daisies

By Sandra | June 24, 2021

Selective Color with Daisies, The yellow centers stand out on their own with daisies in regular photos. But I thought I would try selective color as well. Thinking outside of the box.

Daisy’s symbolize innocence and purity. They make up almost 10% of all flowering plants on the planet. Soft white petals are the most iconic daisy look, but they come in lots of other colors. As tough as they are beautiful, daisies are in bloom most of the year and can adapt to almost any environment – they can even live high in the mountains.

Creativity Knows No Bounds

By Sandra | June 11, 2021

Creativity Knows No Bounds – With the billions of minds that grace the earth, sometimes it’s hard to believe that people are still finding new ways to be creative. After all these years, there’s still so many things waiting to be discovered, created or realized by us humans.

My mind is always thinking outside of the box and sometimes, depending on the weather outside, I may let my imagination flow with my photography and the fun little gadget called photoshop when I am inside escaping the heat.

To Go in Search Of

By Sandra | June 4, 2021

To Go in Search Of is a synonym for looking up. Which I am doing all the time. Sometimes we get so focused on just looking a few feet in front of us or what is in our hands, we forget to look up. To go in search of the Light. It is every where, it is stunning at times to see the Light shine through objects, nature.

It gives a new perspective on what I am looking at, with the light shinning through the leaves, I see every vein, the heart beat of the leaves in front of me. With a sparkle of light at the tip of one leaf below, as if it is saying, ” Now you see me”.

After the Long Winters Nap

By Sandra | May 18, 2021

After the Long Winters Nap, the lush blanket that covers the earth we walk on is coming alive with so many colors and new life every where I look. I look for the tinniest little plants along the path in the woods. Plants that I have never seen before because they are so small.

The dandelions are seeding out already with their little umbrellas that will carry them to start new plants. I watched someone make dandelion honey the other day. It looked very easy. I may have to give it a try.

Bold Splash of Colors

By Sandra | May 5, 2021

Bold Splash of Colors, well I finally have some wild flowers blooming in the yard. Yes, the dandelions are always the first flowers I see. But I can’t complain because it is nice to see the color. I had to add a couple more splashes of purple today as well.

I did buy some hanging flower baskets yesterday, so I will see what kind of photos I can get with those. The sun might come out tomorrow, but it will be below freezing again tonight. So I have to cover a couple plants outside.

Sun Glitter on Water

By Sandra | November 18, 2020

Sun Glitter on Water, no matter how plain the scenery may be getting around us this time of year. The one thing I like to see and makes me smile is Sun Glitter. When sun light sparkles on a lake or river, I can just sit there and watch the light dance in front of my eyes.

Well, I like glitter of all kinds. Sparkling lights at Christmas time, my Grandfather always put tinsel on our Christmas tree. That really made my eyes big as a child looking up at that tree with tinsel glistening in the evening light. Must be where it all started for me.

We went camping a few weeks ago and there was still some last bits of color hanging on in the forest.

Some lavender flowers that were like ground cover, low to the ground and very delicate.

To the last of some green leaves spread out on the forest floor amongst the dry leaves and twigs. Even though I love flowers and all the vibrant colors. I still get excited to see snow at the beginning of winter. But by February, I am ready for spring again.
