A sneak peak at "M's" First Holy Communion...

I may be a little, well okay a lot, prejudiced, but I think she's a beautiful child, inside and out. Full of fun and always laughing.  I was successful, however in catching a little bit of the spiritual side of her for these portraits.  

There will be more to come as soon as she's seen her album!

I just love that I have more time to enjoy the amazing, summer

sunsets!  

Hopefully, you like them, too!

What a difference seven minutes can make!  

After the storm...

Yesterday Mother Nature showed some of her not-so-pretty colors 

with a powerful storm that has left devastation throughout a good part of the ti-state area.

My neighborhood seems to have been in a bubble.  I saw barely a broken branch or downed leaves anywhere along my walk this morning. 

Just after the storms last night, though, Mother Nature showed her amazing,

breathtakingly beautiful self.

How can not believe God had a hand in this.

Back to Longwood...

I went last Sunday in search of the Blue Himalayan poppies that usually 

adorn on of the conservatory gardens this time of year. 

Unfortunately they weren't in bloom yet, except for one pot, but that didn't stop me from

walking around and soaking up some "spring time!"

Frosty March mornings!

We've had our share of cold, snowy, icy mornings in the last few weeks.

As I headed out to the gym on Saturday I noticed the frost patterns on my car's windshield. 

Snowflakes and frozen bubbles have eluded me so far this winter and the promise of spring on the horizon sent me back into the house for my camera.  There'd be another class at the YMCA later in the day!  

On to the Philadelphia Flower Show!

Most the displays at this year's show were inspired by movies.

Many, if not all of them, Disney movies!  

Here are some of my pictures.

If they inspire you, at all, you should try to go at some point!

It's one of those bucket list things!

Spring has sprung!

At least it has at Longwood Gardens!  

I spent a few hours there last Sunday morning while it was snowing, sleeting, with a little freezing rain thrown in for some extra fun on the drive home.

All is well though and worth every minute I spent there!
