think spring

In contrast to yesterdays post of what is outside, today is what is inside.
I am dreaming of spring. I hope that the sun roasts the new snow, and I can be back outside, getting my feet covered in mud.

let it...snow?

Yesterday,
my sister and I walked the collies... in our bare feet.
Today,
it has snowed multiple inches, and is somewhat icy.
I had not anticipated more winter.
I do like to photograph it though...

pastel daffodils

I was going to post these last night, (along with attempting to pack orders and answering e-mails) when our internet took a brief dive. Thankfully it's working normally now.

I love taking "rainbow" and "spectrum" shots.





I thought that I needed to add a little more happy color over in the shop. I have pastels to post this week as well. :):)
