Blue Beauties

I found these tiny blue flowers in the midst of our front garden as I was weeding, and could not help taking a picture or two.

Each flower is only about as big as the tip of my pinky finger.

Sometimes beauty comes in small packages.

Cheerful Like Yellow

Yellow is such a cheerful color. :)

Yellow seems to be my new color this year - I had hardly any of it in my wardrobe last year, and yet this spring I've been attracted to it a lot.

When our forsythia bush was in bloom, I had the bright idea to make a crown out of its branches and pretend I was a woodland elf.

Even our cat looks good in yellow, don't you think?

What's a cheerful color for you?

Here's a sneak peak of a photo shoot I did the other day with a crown I had woven out of forsythia branches. This is for i heart face's challenge this week - Bright and Vivid! Go over to their website to see other awesome entries. :)

Pink and White

Apologies for my lack of posts lately - my computer was down for a while, and I didn't have access to my pictures! Rest assured, I will be posting quite a bit more often now that I have it back. :)

Have you ever noticed how perfectly beautiful pink is against blue?

Or red against blue, for that matter?

And there's something about this soft cream against the dark green that is perfectly exquisite:

Can't forget black and white - so raw yet delicate:

What's your favorite color combination?

Blue Skies

Spring has still been slow in coming, with weather varying from mildly warm to bitter cold (with both snow and rain). But one thing I've come to realize here in Ohio is that one of the first signs of Spring is not flowers or new grass, but blue skies. All winter long the sky is hidden by an oppressive blanket of snow-gray. Only once the clouds begin to recede and the brilliant blue peeks through once more do you know that Spring is almost here.

 A blue sky equals a blue lake, and this is especially interesting when the lake was still slightly frozen over.

See the difference between the two shades of blue in the water? That's the line between the receding ice (which thankfully is all gone now), and the water. It certainly gives an interesting effect!

Even wet parking lots turn blue in the twilight.

Hopefully all predictions prove true, and we get real Spring weather soon. I'm definitely ready for it!
