snap to it

After a brief respite from flowers, we have...

alrighty then

It's been rumored that I post too many pictures of flowers. When I grab my camera for a shoot du jour, it's amazing how hard it is to find something other than flowers to feature. They are usually very available, compliant subjects. I guess I could go to a park or maybe the mall and steal borrow a stranger's child and shoot photograph it, but I doubt those who mentioned my overuse of flowers would approve of their mother doing this. So let's mix it up a bit and see an exciting building! 

Same wall from several points of view...

Thankfully, these roses weren't killed during this winter's cold snap so that Betsy could snap these pretty photos in her backyard.

Patriot has learned that when he stays at our house he has to pose for pictures.

purple & green

This color combination should bring happy memories to my hubby. The towels he took to college were purple and green. They really and truly were. Gotta love 1972.

Hi,

My name is Bailey and I am spending spring break at Camp Sugar Land. Today we had a photo class where I was the model and Martha was the photographer. She wanted to practice manual settings on her camera. I don't know what that means but I'm always glad to go outside.

Here is a profile shot. She says I blend beautifully with the yard and fence.

Personally, I think this features my tail better...

I really like this one because I'm keeping an eye on a pesky squirrel in the tree...

Excuse me while I check on the whereabouts of my sister, Sophie, who by the way, didn't want to take the photo class at Camp Sugar Land. Imagine that...

Okay, I'm back...

Now we're doing head shots and I think my parents will really like this one...

Or maybe this one...

Then it started to rain and we had to go inside, but I really wanted to stay outside and chase squirrels and sniff the yard. So we just worked on silhouette shots.

So which is your favorite picture?

Love, 

Bailey E. George

wisteria

Wisteria is a gorgeous vine that smells heavenly and attracts bumblebees.

think green

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here is a something green. So what if it's in France!

the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

Move over Peter, Paul & Mary and listen to the wind making music in my backyard today...

more pear blossoms

Since they last only a few days, here is a parting shot of the Bartlett pear trees of 2010...

spring has popped out

Scores of pear trees have exploded with clumps of sweet smelling blossoms...

Hello! These little violas greet me every time I go to the garage.

Patriot says, "I spy d-u-c-k-s!" 

He actually thought he could catch up with these ducks who, without doubt, would treat him unkindly if he did reach them.
