So much to love

There is so much in this world to love...

and the first Spring blossoms are high on that list.

I love that for a few weeks mid Winter I get to watch out for them...

the anticipation of knowing that soon...

soon we will see the pink against the blue sky.

And then my heart skips a beat when one morning, magically they have appeared.

Bringing with them is the gorgeousness of the blossom,

and the anticipation that soon, oh so soon,

Spring will be here, and Winter will, once again, be gone.

It seems I have passed on this love to my little loves,

who now excitedly tell me when they have spotted new blossoming trees.

Last week, Annabel suggested we stop to take photos of them.

And that, makes me so very happy.

she decided not to wait for change

Winter is the season I seek change.  

I get restless.

So instead of waiting for it, 

I am going to create it.

Signs of Spring

We are beginning to see signs that Spring is not far away....

and I am loving it.

Blue Sky Boots

How was I ever supposed to resist these?

The perfect winter accessory, especially great on grey dreary days....

blus sky boots.

Everytime I look at these I smile.

And a girl has to have something to smile about in winter, doesn't she?

one third down...

...two thirds to go.  

Hello July.

I am happy to see you, 

as your beginning means we are one third of the way through Winter.

There has been a lot of talk in this house about believing in your dreams.

Annabel says if you believe you can do it, you can...

you just have to picture it in your head 

and it will happen.

This photo, the latest addition to The Butterfly Series,

is for her.  

My little believer.

The butterflies - in white

I thought, honestly thought, that The Butterfly series was complete.  

But something was bothering me, I wanted white backgrounds to suit painted walls - 

the blues and greens of the backgrounds didn't quite suit 

some of the blue tones we have used in the house, 

particularly my daughters room.  

So on the to do list (you know the one...the never-ending to do list...) 

was to create some white based butterfly photos.  

Can you imagine how pleased I was when I received an email today from a customer 

asking if I had any of the series with white backgrounds?  

Finally, the push to bump it to the top of the list.  

And that is what I did this afternoon.
