Sweet lily...

I just love these delicate white bell shaped flowers...sharing with Darcy & My Three Boybarians again & also with Faith and her {photography blog hop}...her theme this week is WHITE :)

Cupcake {sweet}ness...

What do you get when you throw an Auntie & niece together for a sleepover? Painted toenails, a little clothes shopping, staying up late watching a little-chick flick, and sweetly decorated cupcakes. Joining Darcy for her Sweet Shot Tuesday (on Wednesday)...

Shades of gray...

One of my fine art photos was chosen for another Etsy treasury by a fellow Etsy photographer buddsphoto. He chose "Lace"...a vintage style TTV (through the viewfinder) photo of Queen Anne's Lace - a spectacular "weed".

Silver Lining treasury...

One of my painting reproductions, Silver Lining, was chosen for an Etsy Treasury by Malskeys Etsy Shop. She entitled her collection Stormy Weather...GO AWAY. Thanks for including me!

Happy Mother's Day...

A good friend with a garden...

These delicate lilac beauties only last a few days as a cut flower...but what joy they bring in those few days! The S.M.E.L.L. I am grateful to have a friend who shares her garden with me, as I don't really have one...from the hydrangea to the lilacs, to being able to photograph her gorgeous magnolias and stunning pink dogwoods. My son even enjoys picking her peas fresh from the vine and gobbling them up. She has birds nesting in one of her trees, some nesting in her sweet bird house, and hummingbirds that have just become regulars to her new feeder she just put up on the weekend. And my favorite bird, the sweet sounding chickadee frequent her bird bath...such simple pleasures of the everyday :) Joining Faith for her Simplicity Photography Blog Hop...her theme this week is FLOWERS.
