Flowers ... finally!

We took a walk yesterday at Aullwood Garden Metro Park. It was not real warm, but this warmed me all over. FLOWERS!!! Made my day. I cropped it a little so you can see the details and the color. Simply wonderful.  I guess they were just waiting for daylight savings time. 

Teresa took the photo at the bottom .. Great colors in this shot. We had fun. More photos from our little spring walk soon.

There goes Peter Cottontail

I guess I surprised Peter. He wasted no time getting away. I guess it’s that time of year 😱.  

Many years ago, I raised rabbits. They are an interesting and cute creature. It’s not uncommon for us to find a nest of them near our home in the spring / early summer. So, how did the rabbit become part of the Easter tradition? From Wikipedia: 

“Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.” (wikipedia) 

The folklore and symbols ... Christmas? Interesting.

Beautiful Mesa Falls

I took this photo in August, 2006 in Idaho. This is the Upper Mesa Falls, just north-east of Rexburg. It’s is much bigger than what I expected. I remember how beautiful it was, and the roar of the water. Simply beautiful. Nature has so much to share.

“Duck love is recognizable in any language.”

The quote is from the book, “King Perry”, by Edmond Manning. I am not absolutely certain, but I believe this is a duck couple. They couple appear to have just had a spat. Cute, but why swim upstream? 

This second photo is from Las Vegas. I was having a late lunch and this duck swims up beside me. There was two of them, but this is the better photo. They were not interested in swimming .. it was all about my food:).

Black & white & cold

Teresa took this interesting photo. There is a slight blur, but it’s a Black & White photo. It looks cold. I love the photo, but I don’t like the cold.
