Raindrops On Roses 5-12-14

It's been a stormy evening at our house tonight. We sat out on our porch swing and watched the lightening for a bit. some of the strikes lit up the whole sky as if it was mid afternoon. I love the way raindrops look on plant life, it brings out the color and detail of nature.

Rose Reflections 5-9-14

While I was home for lunch today I took some pictures of the roses out in our front yard. I love these roses because like the Irises, these don't require much care and they come back year after year.

 

This bridge and pond is at the Clysta Willett Trails. The moment was actually more serene than I could capture on camera. The sky was a light pinkish gray. We love taking the dogs here in the spring and late fall but unfortunately this will probably be our last visit for a while due to the over population of teeny tiny ticks that get everywhere. If I do go back the dogs probably won't be coming with me and I will be wearing my rain boots and some sort of tick repellant sprayed on those.
