I am *so* ready for warm weather! This is my new easter lily that I planted today. I planted it from a forced bulb so we'll see what happens. For now she's beautiful.

Soaking up the sun
Squash, watermelon, pumpkins, and some mint that I started yesterday in peat pots.

Lub Swoosh Dub
Is the sound of The Baby's heart and is what is sending us to Primary Children's Medical Center tomorrow for a cardiac echo.
Please excuse the dirty face, we working in the yard.

The Color Purple
I think I've decided that the reason purple is one of my favorite colors is that is such an alive color of spring. This is the same hyacinth that a few days ago looked scraggly.
Goodbye Mr. Winter.

Anybody home?
This nest is in a tree that I want to cut down, barring any residents growing in there. I guess we'll have to borrow a ladder tall enough to peek inside and if I get bombarded by an angry Momma bird I'll have my answer too.

Shakiest Lens in the West
I knew my asthma had impacted my ability to train for the triathlon next month, but I never thought about it affecting my photography. After using my inhaler today I could have won a shakiest lens contest hands down.
Spring is on it's way one no matter what though.

Snubbed by Mr. Redbreast
He was looking at me up until the time I pulled the camera up. I've had kids that didn't want to look into the camera but this is the first time I've been snubbed by a bird.

Too cool...
I attempted to blog this yesterday without much luck. She's growing up to the point that it's no longer cool to have your picture taken at a park.

Mission 1: Completed
I have a few of the bulbs in my yard now, in the ground. I need to get some compost, but on the advice of a friend for now I may just cover them up with pine needles and bark.
I also nabbed some *something* that I think might be grape hyacinth. I was hoping it was crocus but the more I look the more I doubt it.

Operation Save the Bulbs
FYI, there are more pictures on my flickr stream of some of the bulbs in question that are better from a photography POV, but this one speaks to the source of the problem.
A little history, I have an emotional tie to my garden and flower beds. I'm sad in the fall after I've harvested everything and things are no longer blooming. I spend a lot of time working in the garden nurturing it and contemplating life. Seeing it die in the fall is a sad time for me.
These bulbs have been cared for lovingly for decades, until the past couple of years. I took this picture today and it's now my mission to save the bulbs. I'll keep you updated on how Operation Save the Bulbs goes.

Green?!?
Why yes, it is. This is what I found when I pulled all of the pine needles out of the flower beds today. I'm anxious to get planting and I hope that we have more nice days coming up so I can get things looking nice and fresh in the front yard and ready for plants.
Real Smiles?
It's amazing the smiles I get when I haven't been pestering them for pictures in a while. It may just be time for a more formal session.

Spring is just around the corner
This is usually the first sign of spring in Utah, what is it in your area?
Clock tower
It's not finished yet, but it is finally looking presentable instead of making everyone wonder why they were building it. I think I'm going to like it, and I wonder if I'll be able to hear it from the house or not.

The definition of anti-climatic
Guess what came in the mail today? Yup, my new baby.
She's wonderful and beautiful and fits my hand like a glove (only better because I have a hard time finding gloves to fit) Unfortunately she needs a CF card. I knew this, I just have not had an opportunity to pick one up yet and she refuses to be satisfied by my SD cards.
*sigh*
So, there she sits just as wonderful as can be in her picture virginity.
I might not even be able to go shooting tomorrow because it's the last day of the conference and I don't know what time I'll be done.
Is patience still a virtue?

Just for me. Just because.
I'm planning for a bit of phototherapy coming up because I feel myself getting sucked into the unbalanced side of life again.
So, this is just for me. Just because.
Since it's been a while since I've just rambled and I'm getting some new hits thanks to A Big Corporate Messageboard I thought I'd mention that I love comments, of any variety, so if you have something to say just say it.
