A lone Daffodil swims in a river of Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea.'

Simple yet elegant, I think!

Tulip saxatilis 'Lilac Wonder'

I planted 'species' tulips this past winter to see how they would do. This one T. saxatilis 'Lilac Wonder' did very well and is blooming as I type. Since these are naturalizing tulips, I expect to see them again next year as well as the following years. If I don't, well I get to enjoy them now!

Johnny Jump Ups and 'Georgia Blue' Veronica

I've been watching my Johnny Jump Up Pansies bloom all through the winter. They were especially cool (literally) when they came up through the snow as happy as can be. Now that spring is almost here the pretty blooms of 'Georgia Blue' Veronica have decided to join the group. I wanted a drift of warm into cool and for the most part I think it worked.

This blog is still alive, I promise! I've let some 'Kodak moments' slip by already. There is too much on my plate right now. Between redecorating my kitchen bedroom and dining room and putting in a brick patio I haven't had a chance to capture images. I keep running for the camera when the sun is already down. Now that we have an extra daylight hour, I'll be more diligent.

Pictures and captions coming soon!!!

February Snow Storm 2010

What a beautiful snowstorm we had! It was record breaking as well. I took photos in the day and at night. These were taken the day of. Snow kept falling through the night so what you see here is not the 'best' of it. I felt like I was in Santa Fe!

Estes Park, Colorado

Rocky Mountain National Park

I just got back from spending time with my family in Estes Park, Colorado. It was magnificent! The mountains were not completely covered with snow, making the the contrast between the sienna colored rocks striking.

As the new year begins and the old is behind us, I thought it would be a good time to look over my 'reject' photos. These are photos for one reason or another I didn't feel compelled to include in my blog. We just came of of a three day freeze, so it's nice to see color, at least in my photos!
