More Of Signs And Thoughts Of Spring

You may or may not have noticed that I changed the picture for my blog header. This new picture is one that I took of some daisies in my front yard. I didn't notice this until I had finished loading my pictures onto the computer, but there is a worm hanging on to one of the daisy petals......The more I thought about it, I realized, this picture represents the events "in my life" so well.....beautiful with the occasional worm.


So anyway, last Sunday, I shared with you several pictures that I took of the signs of spring. Today I am going to share a few more pictures that I took around my home and some more quotes as well. I hope you enjoy them.

Signs And Thoughts Of Spring

I want to share with you some things I noticed while spending some time outside this weekend. I just recently got a new camera. So I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to use it, while at the same time enjoying the beauty that comes with spring. I have a lot to learn about my camera, but I still hope that you enjoy the pictures and the quotes that go along with them.

April is a promise that May is bound to keep. ~Hal Borland



Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.
