My Son's Graduation from BGSU, Ohio :)

Hi All, 

I hope you are all having a lovely day :)

The Sun is Shining here in the Pac. Northwest and all is well :)

Well, I know I haven't been around much and that is because I was on an extended road trip that ended up in Ohio to celebrate my youngest Son's graduation from Bowling Green State University, in Ohio :)

All our family was able to get together for this very important milestone in our family's life and I am truly grateful :)

Here are a few photos of the Grad & his Sibs & Dad :)

(before you ask where am I??? I am (hiding) behind the camera, LOL!!!! :)

Blossoms - Does that mean it is SPRING? :)

Hi All :)

Hope you all had a Lovely Weekend :)

Last Sunday I took a few Photographs of the gorgeous Blossom Trees that are in full bloom right now here in P.Town and I wanted to share them with you here on my blog :)

( For those of you who kindly follow my Facebook page you many have seen some of these already but definitely worth  another 
look :)

(Esp. as the weather has turned cold and rainy and windy again :(

It was the perfect day :)

The Blossoms were full :)

The sun radiating and lighting up the petals :)

Fun shots playing around with background shadows and light :)

Such pretty flowers :)

And a blue sky :)

A hint of blue sky thru the mass of white beauty :)

So abundant :)

The white contrasting against the blue sky :)

What a pretty driveway :)

This is one of my favs. of the weekend, top one is SOOC and the one below is cropped and I took away the heaviness of the branch :)

Which do you prefer???

Lovely Spring Blossoms.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I really hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! Our family is getting together a week later to celebrate, can't wait, it has been a while since we were all together :)

I wanted to share a few photos I managed to take of the lovely blossoms tree that graces our garden. With the rain and the long PNW Winter the blossoms were late in arriving and early to leave but I managed to grab a few shots over a few evenings and so here are some of those. I will post more in a few days. I did share a few last week, if you missed that post, you can see them HERE! :)

These shots are all SOOC (straight out of the camera) no cropping or manipulation.

Afternoon sun hitting the tips making these white Blossoms glow with a pretty warm pinky orange.

As it started to get darker, the sun going down and losing light on the blossom tree, these blossoms were in the full shade of pine trees and this is the result.

These next few shots were taken from my bedroom window. (I know it sounds very lazy but ) Even though the sun is shining on the Blossom tree the grass was so wet my flip flops were taking on water (He! He!) So, this evening I decided to see what shots I could take from a distance.

I hope you enjoyed these shots :) I will post a few more on Thursday, as the light was amazing on some of the other shots I have, I really want you to see them! :)

Let me know what you think!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.
