Me, My Girl & Iris

...did anyone get that title?!
It was supposed to be a spoof off of the movie title "Me, Myself and Irene".
Anyway, on to the photos!!



This was taken by my 5 year old son with my dslr.
I think I did a pretty good job hiding my nervousness!
;)







And here are the irises.
Normally I have such difficulty photographing these particular flowers, but for whatever reason this day was a good one!

 



Before & After:


I wanted to brighten up this shot and give it a touch of seventies.

It's Kinda Girly...

These two end of season coneflowers were swaying in the wind with not a care in the world.
I loved how those dainty petals were moving - just like a ballerina!

Bubbles always remind me of summer and I also wanted to capture the haze and humidity associated with summer, so I kept this shot slightly out of focus.

I usually take a trip to the arboretum about once a month - sometimes more.
These lovely hydrangeas were new on my last visit!

 

Summer is Here!

Summer break is upon us and that means lots of time outdoors...

riding bikes,




peek-a-boo through the "cheese holes" at the park,







and swinging with careless abandon!
