I got to spend most of the day out at the beach. The weather was perfect!

Photographic Evidence – Golf Ball-sized Hail!
At around six o’clock today it started to sound like someone was throwing rocks at the house. I looked outside and saw hailstones crushing everything in sight. I decided to take a prisoner.
Note: Actual golf balls were not falling from the sky. Just hail.

I have a friend that took me over to Barnsley Gardens this weekend. What a gorgeous place! I took lots of pictures, but this one was my favorite.
Lantern Flowers
My landlady has a gas lantern next to the driveway. It has this flower vine that is wrapped around it. It blooms a couple of times a year, but this spring it is really showing off. I don’t know what the name of it is, but I call it the Lantern Flowers.
Spring, Spring, Spring!
I went to Alabama today and took my new camera into the national forest. Lots of things to photograph there, and I’m still learning how to use this camera. I’ve got another lens on the way now because it was out of stock when I ordered my camera. This lens is a little bit soft, but that’s ok as it has been a learning experience for me. I have developed more enjoyment out of just photographing things. I’ve learned to listen when I’m outside to hear what’s going on around me in addition to seeing it. I found what I think is the Brown Thrasher, the Georgia state bird if I’m not mistaken, over in Alabama. Maybe that will let me “break the rules” a little bit here!
English Dogwood blooms—this is the first time I’ve seen it bloom this well.

I love flowers, and I love to photograph them. These flowers belong to a friend who had invited me over to take some pictures.
Something Old, Something New
Now I’m like Stephen. I got a new camera–the Canon Rebel XTi. I absolutely love it. Have no idea how to use it yet. I’m still waiting on one of my lenses to arrive, but in the meantime a friend let me borrow one of hers. I snapped over 400 pictures this evening, and here are a few. You can enjoy the rest of them on my flickr page.
Callaway Gardens
I have lived in Georgia for several years, but I’ve never been to Callaway Gardens until this weekend. It is a beautiful place at any time of year from what I hear. The flowers are breathtaking, not to mention the lakes, streams, and wildlife. The “Birds of Prey” show was very good. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Me again
I always post here in the spring, because well, it’s just my favorite time of year. I almost thought I wasn’t going to get to post because I lost my password for this site. Luckily, Wordpress came through. Hope you enjoy!

Dogwoods
The dogwoods are in bloom all over Georgia. The pink and white mixture can be simply breathtaking.
Field of Gold
This field is located only a few miles from my home. This is how it looked a little over two years ago.
Azaleas and Such
The flowers at the homes on the street where I live are absolutely breathtaking every year. I love to go out and take pictures of them. As you already know, I love to catch all the bumblebees in a pose as well. Here are some that I hope you enjoy! Some are clearer than others, but it’s so darn hard to get the little boogers to be still! And I don’t dare make one of them angry!!!
And this is an unusual blend!!!
I hope the bees are happy with all this pollen we’re having in the south. Wow! I’ve never seen it like this.
That’s all for now! Don’t want to hog the blog!!!
More Spring!
Have I told you I looooove spring?!?!?!? Well, I do. This is a tree in the neighborhood here in West Georgia. I don’t know what kind it is. Sorry, but I’m not a botanist by any means, but I think this tree is gorgeous!!!
Spring!!!!
Yay!!!
I love spring!!! The flowers are gorgeous this year as well. I took a few pics today of some fruit tree blossoms and found a nice little honey bee in one of them. Of course, he was the only one that would be still long enough for me to take his pic!
Spring is coming!
I visited my sister today in Carrollton and took a few shots of these flowers in her front yard.
