The Beauty of Winter





Hello everyone,

I am finally back after a long break.
I hope you are still here with me!
I have lots of excuses for my long
break including no excess to my
photos on our desktop but we now
have a new monitor and I am good
to go.


A couple of weeks ago we had a surprise early snow so
of course I went out to enjoy the beauty with my camera.


I love when we get an early snow before the pond freezes over
as you get some reflection in the water.


We still had leaves on the trees and shrubs.


For early in November it was pretty good
cover but it was all gone a couple of days later.

We  have been busy getting outdoor chores done
and then I moved on to Christmas decorating so
now we can enjoy the long evenings with lots
of twinkling lights etc.

How about you are you getting ready for Christmas?

Take care,
Carolyn

Bold And Beautiful!






Hello everyone,

I hope your spring is going well.
I am happy to have all of our garden
beds weeded and edged.Everything
is coming along good and I am enjoying
the beauty of early spring flowers.

I love these bold and beautiful tulips
although this wouldn't be my first choice
of colors except  in spring when I have
been looking forward to color in the garden
again after a long winter.

a beautiful bouquet of double
tulips.

We have hundreds of daffodils blooming
now but some are starting to fade already.
Luckily, tulips are putting on a show now.


                                     There are so many beautiful varieties of
                                      daffodils and narcissus.












I hope you enjoyed your visit and
I hope to be back again soon....
hope you will too!

Take care,
Carolyn
