Itsy Bitsy Spider...
Maybe its a Mom thing, but when I see things I often break out my tunes!
Ok ok... Maybe its not a mom thing... maybe I have been doing this my whole life. :P
But in this instance I was working on picture of spider webs (look below :P) and it sure did make me break out my nursery rhyme skills. Kade does really enjoy my voice. I discovered even when I'm sick and snotty and I don't have much a voice he still loves it! Then again he also thinks its funny when I tell him "No!" or "Don't do that!" (which seems a lot these days since he is getting into everything!)
But I'm really straying away from the point of my post....
My Pictures!
Memorial weekend I went on hike with some of my family!
It was quite a journey! I really love being outdoors and I really love taking pictures so just add that with beautiful sun-filled day and what do you get! Heaven! So here are few pictures from my family hike! You'll notice that there are quite bit of Itsy bitsy spider cob webs in the woods too. :P

Trash the Dress with Moe!
Back in April my best friend, Moe, who got married in late October, wanted some FUN pictures of herself in her wedding dress! Of course, I couldn't say no!
We both have heard and seen photography known as Trash the Dress and wanted to attempt to do this. Basically, Trash the Dress is photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an out-of-place environment. So we spiced up her look and just had fun in different environments!
In many of the examples we found, people actually ruin their dresses. (For example: soaking, burning them, splattering them with paint!) On the other hand, Moe didn't mind a little dirt here and there but she wanted to be able to keep her dress... possibly to hand down to her future daughter. (She is now expecting! And I keep telling her that she is going to have a girl! I'm so excited to be an Auntie!)

It's in the Top 10!
I have to be honest, while researching tulips,
I didn't really find many interesting facts that really struck my fancy.
Which doesn't mean the flower itself isn't interesting!
Because it is! Hence why I photographed it!
I did find out that Tulips are third-most popular flower.
Which made me wonder, what are the top 10 flowers?
So Here are the Top 10:
- Rose
- Chrysanthemum
- Tulip
- Lily
- Carnation
- Gerbera
- Freesia
- Cymbidium
- Alstroemeria
- Gypsophilia
Rose was a given!
Is your favorite listed?

I took this picture just fun! Enjoy :D

Galls?
'The Narcissus's are Nice'
Narcissus's also know as Daffodil's are in full bloom around this time of the year.
So of course I had to break out my camera and take a picture of this yellow beauty!
Although a lot of us are draw to it because its eye popping color.
I'm drawn to flowers not solely for their colors but their elegant shape and form.
This is why I choose to make these pictures black and white.
I believe color can distract us from what is also beautiful.
So, hopefully you will find this photos as beautiful as I do!
Fun Fact about Narcissus's:
Did you know that ancient Greeks believe that plant originated Narcissus
Vain youth? Narcissus died after falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.
The Greeks believe a flower was from his remains.
You must admit he did make a beautiful flower :P

I'm Turning into a Botanist!?
Lately I noticed, I can't stop taking picture of plants, flowers, trees, anything really that is blooming!
I think I might be turning into a Botanist! Because every time I take picture of plant I find interesting,
I head on over the web and learn more about it.
For instance, Forsythia, is native to eastern Asia and its part of the Olive Family! It is also considered to be one the 50 fundamental herbs in Chinese herbology. The forsythia herb is known to help with common colds, flu's, allergies too.
Pretty cool huh? And this is all right in my backyard. :)

Bloomin' Cattails!
Interesting fact:
While researching I found out that some Native Americans actually used this cotton-like fluff for moccasins. Pretty cool huh? I think these cattails could have made quite a few moccasins!

Duckie Day at the Park
On Saturday I took my son to the park. It was actually his first trip to the park since he has been able to walk. He wasn’t used to the ground that wasn’t flat, so he stumble around quite a lot. But because of this he discovered woodchips and dirt! Yep! It went straight into the mouth! Not only did I take a million pictures of him. I took some other “artsy” pictures—what I like to call them. I’m sure there’s a better name for them, like still life, close ups, etc… But I think most people get the gist of what I referring to. :P
I was really drawn to the school bus colored duck bounce. It reminded me of when I was younger. Haven’t they been around forever? So I started snapping pictures and this is what I came up with.
Here are few other pictures I took that day:
Can you tell I had thing for YELLOW that day! :)

King Edward
So I had my camera out and ready to go shoot some photos of the 14inches of snow outside but then the lighting on the cigar box to right of room caught my attention. I'm not exactly sure why I like this picture so much. The lighting? The peaceful and calm feeling I get when looking at it? I just cant put my finger on it.
Also I can't decide if I like in color or black & white! I tend to always have this problem with photos. I love black and white photography! But don't get me wrong I love color too! I just feel black and white image allows objects/people pop out. While normally we might not notice some finer details (and I love the fine details wrinkle, cracks, you name it I love it).
But in this color photo I do love the colors. It has nice warm feeling. So what do you think? Which do you prefer? :)
