Coral

(instagram)

Tonight I noticed the wonderful silhouette that my lamp cast on a piece of coral on my side table. It was a study of light and dark.

Lily

The yellow lilies in my garden bloomed today. They were the last to bloom in my collection of red, orange, and yellow. Dave gave each potted plant to me during one of my stays in the hospital 3 years ago. We then planted them in our garden when I returned home. They have a lot of importance to me and I always love seeing them bloom. 

Shades of Purple

Hydrangea's from Jamie's Garden. I love all the varying shades that show up in just one bundle!

Painted Sky

To me, there is nothing like a beautiful sunset to close a day. I love how quickly they change and evolve. On this particular evening, we were out enjoying some time with the dogs when I noticed the beautiful painted sky. It's colors were soft and subdued. 

Lady Bug on a Rose

(with Hipstamatic)

I found a yellow lady bug on this beautiful rose today. It was at my friend Jamie's house. She even offered for me to cut some roses and take them home. I was absolutely elated!

Time

I am trying to learn how to control my time rather than allowing my time to control me! Time is what has held me back from doing this project for years, but I am not going to let another opportunity slip by to challenge myself and my photography skills. I can't wait to see what this year will bring!
