What A Day!

Wowie, we're experiencing gorgeous weather over here today and tomorrow is going to be even nicer!  "Purrfic!" as Pop would say on 'The Darling Buds of May'...  {smile}

G. had his last work day today and I finished my last lessons at Little Bit. I had so much fun there today. The first rider I ever worked  with 3 years ago came back for a lesson. She is 8 years old now and has grown so much. She remembered my name immediately and still is one of the only ones to pronounce it correctly.  ~wink~

Now I finally have that vacation feeling in me: Yes!

Here some beautiful pictures from more flowers in the yard. I used the Av-setting this time so I could determine my own focal point instead of the auto-focus....

Focus on the  little bud...

Focus on the right flower....







And oh yeah, the Swedish lady came by with her kids yesterday afternoon and we had a great time! They stayed until almost 7pm and we just chatted the whole time. She is from Skane for those of you from there, Monica and Viveka!  ~wink~


Right now this vision below is waiting for me so I'm off....


Cheerio!

  1. I think your photos are looking great. All those beautiful flowers.

    I'm so glad the Swedish lady came over and she stayed for a long time. She may end up being a great friend!

  2. SOoooo glad the Swedish lady is nice - was worried you might have ended up with a stalker!

    Love the shot of the lilac flower from underneath.

    I seem to be morphing into Ma from Darling Buds!
    (would rather be Mariette!!!)
