Sparkling Trumpets, Foxglove flower, Cone flower, wet, rain

I think this is called a Foxglove flower. I took this photo right after a rainstorm and the sparkling water on the flowers were like diamonds.

Lady Slipper, Flower

A pink wild Lady Slipper flower that just recently bloomed in the woods near my house.

Nature's Bells, Flowers, Lilies of the Valley

These Lilies of the Valley flowers look just like little bells to me.

Sorry I have not been posting the last few days I was away for the weekend. But I am back now.

Balding, Dandelion

From the looks of its family tree this Dandelion better not get to used to its full head of hair! :D

Wind Chimes, Amazing Grace, Macro

This wind chime is supposed to play the first 5 notes of the hymn  “Amazing Grace” as it blows in the breeze. I honestly don’t think I have ever really heard it play the notes in the correct order but still it sounds great anyways!

Pineapple, Persian Cat, Stare Off

My Persian cat was infatuated with this pineapple and kept rubbing up against it and smelling it. Here he is challenging it to a staring contest :)

I have been a bit under the weather the past few days that is why I have not been posting. Hopefully I will be back to 100% soon and will be able to post more often!

Pink Flowers, Fall, Lipstick

This is a photo I took a few months ago in the Fall of some beatiful dying flowers. The splotchy pink spots looked a bit like lipstick on a white shirt hence the title.

Lipstick Stains

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

String Reindeer, Macro, Pentax K10d, Tamron 70-300

Well I can pretty much guarantee this will be one of the strangest photoblog posts you will see today! As I was sitting at my desk I saw this string hanging from the window shade and it just kept looking like a reindeer jumping to me. I don’t know if I am suffering from cabin fever or what but I just had to take the photo and see if others thought so too! Hopefully I am not going crazy :)

Sorry there has not been as many posts by me lately with all this winter weather and cold its harder to get out and take good photos. Hopefully I will start taking more photos soon.

The Sun was shining bright yet there was a snowstorm happening at the same time. If it had been rain instead of snow I bet there would have been a rainbow!
