Anticipating Spring

Rarely has winter kept me from exploring and capturing the world around me with my camera. However, I do think my granddaughter's antics in this photo capture my own emotions regarding this winter.  Making an attempt to shake off the winter blues, I headed out for a walk during a break in the rain. It appears the whole of nature is also anticipating spring.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This weeks hunt was very exciting. The prompts really generated so many ideas.
The prompts this week are rainbow, fluffy, letters, metal and tree(s).

Rainbow

I had so much fun playing around with this prompt. My work partner and oldest daughter came up with the idea of using skittles, and I ran with it.

Fluffy

I wanted to take a picture of Gabriel Iglesias  for this prompt but sadly he wasn't here, so I had to settle for something a little less wild. Fluffy pumpkin cookies with orange butter frosting.

Letters

Being part of a Navy family letters and the sea go hand in hand. My son-in-law is currently at sea so of course we are all missing him. Although it is hardest for the little ones, so with the prompt I decided I wanted to somehow use it to help my granddaughter express her feelings.

Metal

Can you tell I have our service members on my mind?

Tree(s)
This tree reminds me of Jack's bean stalk . . . anyone up to climbing it and finding out for me?

So there they are folks, my submissions for this weeks scavenger hunt. Please click on the button below and pop over to Ashley's to check out what everyone else found, or join the fun.

Eastern Redbud Tree

Until yesterday I had no idea a tree like this even existed.  As much as I love trees, flowers and plants I am pretty clueless when it comes to their names. After a bit of research I now know this is an Eastern Redbud tree and is native to the area. Here is a closer look at those delicate pink blossoms.
