Posting one of my Spring photos early for the Weekly M4H Photography Challenge.  The theme this week was Nature.

I can't believe the Magnolia trees are already blooming!

Happy Valentine's Day

Tried these macro filters today with the beautiful tulips my husband gave me for Valentine's day.  Not perfect, but for $10.00--not terrible.  Do you have them?  What are your tricks to using them for macro shots?

Hope you are all having a love-filled Valentine's Day!

Assignment #16 Details {Part One}

I took these two last week, but I'm getting a slow start this week.  Just a couple of pink roses cropped in really close to show of some of the details in the petals.  It would be so fun to have a macro lens.  I recently purchased these close up filters for about $10.00 to magically make the lenses I currently own macro.  I tried them once and had no luck.  My goal is to get them back on this week and give it another shot.

The Rose Garden {Part Two}

And because I'm an oversharer, here are some more. . . 

And this one is for this week's assignment.  That counts for motion, right??

Tonight the Sculpture Garden!  WooHoo!

The Rose Garden {Part One}

The instructor for our photography class said that we could join in on another class/different night to try another location to photograph.  My friend and I jumped at the chance and made plans to go.  Well, we screwed up.  The class was meeting tonight at the Sculpture Garden while we we were on our own little field trip at the Rose Garden.  It certainly would have been nice to have some instruction/input from our instructor, but we made the most of it and had a great time.  I could get used to these little photo outings.

Assignment 8 (Pink): TWO

Our peonies finally bloomed!  I was so excited!  I'm not very good at gardening, but a friend recently came over with a shovel, some plants, a smile, patience and shared her love for all that is green so I've been feeling a bit more inspired.  I have a loooong way to go in the green thumb department, but I'm taking some pride in our plants.  That's a start, right?  Better yet, they're PINK!

Assignment #6 (Flowers) and REMINDER!

A few more flowers from me and a reminder to send your pics my way.  I'd like to post tonight, but I can always add more later.  Thank you!

Hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous weather!

Toodle-oo!

I'm on my way out of town so I won't be posting the final DOOR pictures until Sunday night.  Believe me when I say this, they are worth the wait!   Happy Weekend y'all!

Flora

I discovered a little bit of color today and thought I'd share it with you before I go get my BLUE on. 

Happy Mother's Day!!
