Birds of a Feather

This clever bird stole a green ribbon from me to feather his nest.  I hope he attracts a nice girl!

Spring, Blossoms & Four Letter Words

Spring has finally sprung...and in my neck of the woods (desert is more accurate!) spring also brings a foul four letter word...WIND.  Luckily, I caught some photos before it got super windy.

 

I have a stunning Flowering Plum Tree in my backyard that has the prettiest pink blossoms.  I look forward to their arrival every spring and this year I was not disappointed!

Than came the evil WIND...I guess this is just a reminder to live in the moment, for those beautiful blossoms could be gone tomorrow.  So take the time to sit under that flowering spring tree and enjoy the beauty of this season while it lasts!

What is your favorite thing about spring?

Alarm Clock

Albuquerque is known for their annual Balloon Fiesta.  What you might not know is conditions are great most of the year for ballooning.  This being the case, most mornings the sky is full of hot air balloons.  This is one of the many reasons I love living here.  Plus you never have to set your alarm clock, they make a very distinct sound as their propane burners ignite that has every dog in the neighborhood barking madly.

Oceans of Sky

A change of scenery

There is nothing like Mother Nature 

to alter your perceptions of the world.

Happy Holidays

Twinkling lights, shining bright, 

blessing us with magic and delight.  

Joyful and free, caroling, 

gathered around the glowing Tree.

Wishing you a very Happy Holiday!
