Signs of Spring – A Photo Hunt

Karen recently posted a new photo hunt on her blog. She wanted us to show her what spring looks like where we live. As an added twist, she wants us to use a prime lens, if we have one.

The were all taken with my 60mm macro lens (my favorite lens!). The first two are from my visit to the Dallas Arboretum a few weeks ago. The next two are from a walk around my neighborhood, and the last one I spotted in my backyard.

People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

2014/150: Memories Of Spring

Seems odd to say this, since it isn’t even officially summer yet, but it sure feels like it… and the tulips are long gone.

2014/143: A Giveaway!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve done one of these, and Kathy’s recent giveaway inspired me to do my own again.

So today I’m giving away a set of 10 (blank inside) note cards, each with a different photograph of mine. Which ones will remain a mystery until the lucky winner will receive his / her prize 😉

To qualify for the giveaway all you need to have done is comment at least once here on my blog between January 1, 2014 and May 22, 2014, just to keep all the lurkers to come out of hiding at the chance of a freebie. Post Likes unfortunately do not qualify.

You have until Tuesday, May 27, 2014 to enter, just leave a little comment on this post and your name will be entered into the drawing, and then tune in on Thursday, May 29th to see if you’ve won.

Good Luck!

2014/100: Snowdrops

Love these little flowers. Wish I could have picked a big bouquet of them…..but I didn’t, because this was at the Dallas Arboretum.
