Happy weekend.

  • This single oak tree on a ridge overlooking the fields of grass and red clover on a beautiful, Sunny spring day...<br /> "Perspective"
  • Here's one of a lovely columbine still blooming in the shade. The sun is out oh Happy Day!<br /> Where to go waterfalls, beach or mountains. Oh my!<br /> We'll see what the lens finds today.
  • Dinner and drinks looks good for the weekend!<br /> We have sun! Not sure what we're doing but look forward<br /> to going!<br /> Have a lovely weekend everyone!
  • From the park the other day, took the shadow up and now it looks like a watercolor. While we do get a lot of rain, we do get spectacular sunsets as well. <br /> Love the colors..What do you think?
  • Love the delcate petals on this white peony.
  • Went over to our friend's home on the Tualatin the other day and the river was really looking nice as the sun came out for a peek. Still raining here today, but at least we save on water!<br /> Have a lovely week!
  • Here's one of the Swiss Alps I caught just before sunset. I love the pinkish orange on the top and side of the peaks.
  • Looking up at the dandelion's from the grass perspective..not great on my allergies but hey things you do for a shot!<br /> My heart and prayers go out to all those impacted by the awful and powerful storms this week in the midwest.<br /> I do not know what you have been through but I know it will be better than before.
  • "Inspiration" The tree and the leaves of the Japanese maple reach up to soak up the precious rays. The sun and the clouds worked together for this shot. Still cool and wet this week..Perhaps the sun will arrive with June?
  • "Don't loose your head"<br /> I thought this was pretty funny as his 3 cohorts were now gone...<br /> Fits perfectly for a Monday...Didn't get to the falls as it was raining..maybe next week?<br /> Thank you all for the great comments last week!<br /> Have a great week!
  • My yellow orchid against a black background provides a nice contrast with the green.<br /> Happy weekend.
  • It's the weekend so I thought this playful otter cloud with a ball would be fun.<br /> Tried upgrading to IE 9..couldn't upload pic's on Smug, had to roll back..serious prob for Microsoft and Smug....<br /> This was not photoshopped, these two appeared naturally :)
  • From under the dogwood.<br /> These flowers look so elegant and beautiful..
  • "Just dandy"<br /> I love the way the sun is glinting off each individual spore. Best viewed in a larger size. This close up gives character & beauty to the lowly Dandelion.<br /> For Tracey and her girls! <br /> Thank you all for the lovely comments. You are all very kind!
  • I caught this pollen laden bee zipping away from the Peony.<br /> The sun is out, the bees are out , it must be spring!
  • 2 hands seem to reach out into the sun as this ambar begins to leaf out.<br /> Please let me know what you think...
  • The old barn sitting in the sun as it has done for many years.<br /> Yes, we do get sun in Oregon every once in awhile. :)
  • Spring is so late the bleeding hearts are very happy. This was near that lovely purple iris. The background is a car fender.<br /> Beauty can be found everywhere..
  • This lovely purple Iris was solitarily sitting among some weeds on the street. The colors and beauty are very striking. Had some sun yesterday, now back to rain......
  • Although the gardener cut down most of my subjects..I love the play of light on this one.<br /> Thank you all for all the lovely comments..<br /> I really appreciate it!
