Late April, New York City.

Trying her hardest to be plant-like so bees will land on her. Atta girl.

Mom’s bike, Dad’s dog.  Wild times in Virginia.

Something bright, simple, and pretty.  Because today is not. 

Signs of life in our lilac tree this morning.

Canon 5D mkii, 24-70 @ 2.8, and my Hoya +4 filter (which I just realized I can use on all my lenses and not just my Contax!)

It’s been so long since I’ve had anything colorful to photograph…

Snowbirding.

The gardener.

In a sea of purple.

A forgotten little tree behind a building, next to the dumpster, branches catching a horrific orange parking lot spotlight that comes on at twilight.  Beauty is absolutely everywhere.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.

Our home (and Esme’s wardrobe) is filled with amazing things my mom makes by hand. How wonderful is that.

Gosh don’t you just hate this time of year with everyone posting pictures of flowers all the time?
