Hovering - Macro Monday

Not a true "Macro" but as close as I could get without a zoom.

Hummingbirds fascinate me. I could watch them for hours.
I was lucky to capture this little guy in hover mode!

A Fairy In My Microwave - Weekend Reflections

Click the pic to enlarge
No, it's not a mirror...this is the front of my microwave. The fairy is actually on the side of the fridge. Everything reflected so vividly, it almost looks as though you are peering through a window. The fairy art is by my 6 year old granddaughter, Beep.

Evergreen - Macro Monday

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider,
every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.

Flowers in Winter - Macro and Mellow Yellow Monday

Winter in my part of Canada lasts a long time. We are buried in snow, and this part of the world seems devoid of vivid colour. I so enjoy looking at the flower photos from other parts of the world, as I peruse various photo blogs. I said to my husband last week, I can't wait until winter is over so I can photograph some flowers! Being the sweet man that he is, he brought home a bouquet of my favorite flowers to cheer me up, and give me an opportunity to take some pics.


Alstroemeria, aka Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas

After The Storm - SkyWatch Friday

We had a major winter storm yesterday. We haven't seen a blue sky for weeks,
but look at the sky today! I'm doing the happy dance.
