Beginning

I finally got out for a walk this afternoon at my favorite park. The trees were neon green and there were bursts of orange, purple, and yellow wildflowers.

I had a sense of beginning. I'm feeling better after a couple of weeks of being ill, my home is peaceful, and everything is lush and blooming. I'm so happy!

While I was sick and stuck inside, I re-read the Twilight series and watched New Moon on DVD. That probably explains why I was scouting meadows for Edward and Bella. This one would be perfect.

Had to take this picture quickly because the tree was humming with bees.

I usually don't try to take pictures of birds because I don't have the right camera for it, but this little finch was nice enough to pose for me while I was trying to get a shot of the pink blossoms. Is it me, or does it kind of look like an oil painting?

Happy spring to you!

So pretty! Everything is still brown and dirty here. I can't wait until the grass sprouts and the leaves bud... and all the snow disappears.

Glad you're feeling better and were able to enjoy a lovely day.
