Every Rose…

by on Jan.25, 2011, under Photography

You know? I noticed our rose bush today and decided to try out a new lens on the thing. There are no roses blooming on it at this point, however, I noticed something intrigueing.

The thorns on this thing compare to baby shark teeth! And when I tried to move the vine for a better angle on it, I got bit!

I wonder if it is so the deer won’t eat them and we can enjoy them a little longer? Do women want roses because they know the guys bleed when they pick them?

Well that will give me something to Google this evening I suppose. Plant protection mechanisms. Cures for Rose Bites, etc.

Peace, Love, and Every Rose Has Its Thorn,

Circle of Life…

by on Jan.02, 2011, under Photography

As I stated in my first post of 2011 I decided to take time to look around. To look deeper. To Appreciate. And today as I was begrudgingly cleaning up my back yard and cussing the weeds I noticed how perfect dandelions were.

They start out as seemingly beautiful yellow flowers then turn in to a sphere of trouble. By that I mean they have the potential to fill your yard in a rather short amount of time. Though I like the color yellow sometimes I do not wish my yard to be all dandelions – though dandelions are the only flower I seem to be able to grow at this point.

Well, I guess I’ll put the camera down and go back to cleaning up. Just thought I’d share a little something with ya’ll. Have a wonderful day!!

Peace, Love and Weeds,

Another Season…

by on Apr.22, 2010, under Photography

I love the time when winter is easing on out and spring begins and the flowers pop up and the trees get leaves. I think green is one of my favorite colors.

Blue Bonnets are popping up everywhere, as well as these yellow flowers (that I don’t know the name of – wish I did). I just take photographs of them.

Bees are also buzzing about making sure the flowers keep blooming. Bees are fun to watch – though not TOO closely. I tripped once while trying to photograph some bees. Which of course got them all excited and they proceeded to take it out on me.

I can’t really blame them though. I don’t like giant things falling on me while I’m eating either.

Enjoy the season. Thank you for stopping by.

Peace, Love, and Pollen (*achoo!*),
