Is it just me, or is there something refreshing about blossoms? Perhaps it's because it's a sign of spring and soon summer... warmer temps, a break from winter and snow. Or perhaps it's just because they are gorgeous and bring a smile! Chanticleer flowering pear tree.

The blossoms are JUST starting to come out this week, and still anxiously awaiting them coming out to full bloom! I love this time of year, things green up, the blossoms come, and the leaves shortly after, making it a relaxing time to enjoy hearing the leaves in the wind again!

Keeping the cycle going

Fresh coat of snow, hanging on to the branches of this cedar tree as the sun begins to melt the snow and make way for the cedar needles to show again.

Winter snowflakes - a foggy and chilly morning, the snow clings onto branches for just a bit longer than on a sunny day.

Pink Tulip

Light plays an important aspect in the world of photography and I am always intrigued in the beauty of edison light bulbs, how they play on glass, surrounds and surfaces.

Flowers absolutely brighten a room, bring a smile, and make a otherwise dull day, bright again. Sunflower in painted light.

Find your own reason to bloom each day.

Spring is not far around the corner but thankfully we can enjoy flowers many times through out the year if grown in green houses and indoor climates during the harsh winter. White daisy.

A place in my dreams

As I turned away from the coastline to look back at the grasses blowing in the breeze off the ocean, this view was breathtaking. Sitting on those decks, listening to the water, the crashing waves, the wind blowing in the grasses below, is what dreams are made of, but this place is in indeed very real.
