Budding

Just a week and a half ago, this is what my azalea bush looked like. It's definitely blossoming now.
I've been remiss in taking pictures lately and hope to do better. I bought a fairly inexpensive tripod to see if I'll even use it much before investing in a better one, but it's already given me some ideas of things I want to try. Now if I can just get out and actually do it!

Obviously not a rolling stone

 

Get it? A rolling stone gathers no moss? No?
I played with some shots of a mossy tree and liked these two perspectives. I really like how the seedlings show up in the 2nd shot.

Sorry, Kumar

I suppose if I grew up with White Castle, I'd love it, but I didn't... we had Krystal where I'm from. They all closed over 15 years or so and every so often, I get a craving with no way to satisfy it.
One of our final stops on our anniversary trip was the Krystal on Elvis Presley Blvd. I think the location just made it taste that much better!

Calendarly Challenged

Who cares that Easter was over a week ago? My confused Easter Lily is coming right along. At this rate, it should bloom before September.

Ancient Relic

Maybe not so ancient.
We took a quick trip over the weekend to celebrate our 16th year of marriage and passed through Memphis on the way back. The Memphis pyramid was built in 1991 - I can remember being fascinated by it. My first concert I saw there was Prince in the late 90's. Even almost 20 years later, I still love seeing it.

It all has to come to an end

Unfortunately, the gorgeous flowers have to leave us at some time, but even then, they're awfully pretty.

Free classes? Sure!

I had a friend tell me (thanks, Lisa!) about this free series of web classes and I just enrolled. Not sure how the timing will work, since the class times are during work hours, but I thought I could see if I could hit a few classes of interest (or possibly download them, depending on the cost).

As a beginner, I'm always up for learning new things. I also thought it would be interesting to compare the information with what I learned in the class I took recently at Bedford Camera & Video.

I wanted to post this for anyone else interested too.

Spring is blooming!

I am overly fascinated by daffodils right now. They're adding to my Spring fever.

Ever feel like...

... no  matter what you do, you run into one of these? That's sort of how I'm feeling right now. It's not been a good 24 hours.

Happy Easter!
