Mosaic Monday: Lovely Spring







It's been a crazy busy spring here, between our little "weather event" and my daughter's college graduation, not to mention a weekend filled with three portrait sessions.

I feel like spring is passing me by.

I took a few minutes earlier in the week to take the camera out and shoot some of the flowers currently blooming in our garden.  We've got pink rhododendron and white azaleas, Siberian iris in both blue and white, and a shrub with little white, highly fragrant flowers.  I think it is sweet olive, but I'm not sure.  All I know is that it smells divine, and it's fragrance wafts in the bedroom window at night.

I love spring.

I'm going to take the next two weeks off to regroup, and to enjoy the rest of spring.  See you on June 15th.  :)
