Beautiful Blooms

It's actually starting to look like spring has arrived in southern Indiana. Here a some photos of a blooming Bradford Pear tree outside my daughter's apartment this afternoon. The trees are turning green, forsythia & tulip trees are blooming also. Lovin' all the spring colors!

Spring is in the air here in Missouri

When I stepped outside today, I noticed how dark the sky was looking toward the east. The colors where really nice so I snapped a pic. It's when I went to edit that I noticed that our trees are showing buds...spring is right around the corner although, like so many around the country, we didn't really see a winter this year.

Cedar Tree

I am so behind on posting pics so I'll post some from last month now. On December 3, 2011, my husband and I stopped at a state park in Independence, KS. While there I found these gorgeous blue berries on a cedar tree! Love the colors here!

Not much creativity today...just catching one of the squirrels in the yard today after one of the dachshunds chased him up the tree.

I found this beautiful cardinal in one of our oak trees today. I am so looking forward to a good telephoto lens! 1/60 sec at f/22, ISO 400, 300mm
