Picture this

Not much new on the artwork front, but I have been out with my camera trying to capture a bit of the lovely blooms and signs of Spring this year. Hope you enjoy!

Spring has (finally) sprung!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything new here; so much for "best laid plans" and all! ;)

The weather has finally consented to let loose of winter and embrace the wonders of springtime. The crocuses are starting to bloom, the daffodils and hyacinths are budding up full and the forsythias are just about to burst open in their showers of golden splendor!

So to celebrate, I thought I'd post a few pix from last spring, just to get the juices flowing. Hope you enjoy!

Let it snow!

It's been a bit of a while since my last post, thought I'd make amends by posting some pictures taken during the past snowstorm. These shots were mostly taken during a lull between the beginning flurries and the rest of the four inches that we got later in the day. Enjoy!
