Bird in Motion
Day 140 – I was walking around the yard enjoying this lovely spring day. This little fellow sat perched on the bush for a while and just when I felt sure enough to snap the shot, he took off. Luckily I caught him just in time.

Onda Blomma
Day 134 – I thought the underside of this lovely tulip looked like a monster face with a long nose, so I decided to have some fun with it. The title “Onda Blomma” is Swedish for “Evil Flower”.

Faded Flowers
Day 132 – Another day spent in the garden and then in the photo studio. These beautiful pink tulips are really vibrant but I had fun adjusting the colors and texture of the photograph. I can’t wait for the irises to bloom this summer.

Garden Blossoms
Day 131 – The garden is bursting with beautiful colors. I had a hard time picking out my favorite today. I chose the little grape hyacinth since blue is my favorite color.
