Bloom where you are planted

With the warmer weather in the southwest, things are blooming. I love all the bright colors that are popping up everywhere.

Pretty as a peacock

Butterfly

This one was a matter of right time, right place. One of my new fav's. :)

Changing Seasons

Sorry it has been so long between posts. Things are a kinda crazy this time of year. Winter in the desert is pretty mild, and we are just now starting to see the leaves change on the trees. It's beautiful... all the colors. I should have some more "traditional" Christmas pics to post in the next week, but I really wanted to get these up. :)

Flowers

I thought these came out quite nice. :) Enjoy!

Aquarium

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Life kind of exploded so we have been extremely busy.
Here are some random shots from our recent visit to the aquarium.

Roses from a local park:

New perspective

Sometimes you just need to look at things from a new perspective.

Spring has sprung

Spring time here in the desert is beautiful. Even the cactus blossoms are in full bloom. I know there are places still getting snow... but everything will be in full bloom before long, and then summer is right around the corner.

Spring has sprung

The zoo is not only good for getting pictures of animals... the flowers make for some wonderful photography as well. It's been especially warm here in the desert, so everything is in bloom.

Kids and flowers

I was playing with my editing software and I came up with this: Hope you like it!

Flowers of the desert

Pez

One of the great joys of childhood... the pez dispenser.

Think Pink

Shoot for the moon!

Something unique

Here is another photo I created using the online Foto Flexer . Hope you like it... it's a little different than most of the others posted so far. Most of the time I hate having my picture done... especially when pregnant... but this one came out ok... I like the edited version the best though.
