Even in Strawberry Fields

Any outing out of the ordinary calls for my camera.

Last week, I took the kids strawberry picking for the first time.  Aside from bickering over water bottles (!!), they quite enjoyed themselves and happily filled containers with juicy red berries.  Happily for me, the owners of Jim's U-Pick did not weed their fields:  Along with hundreds of strawberry plants grew hundred more haphazard wildflowers.  Petals painted the fields with their loveliness. 

This photo is my favourite that I made that day:  "In a Field of Flowers"

Just for Fun!

The other night, it occurred to me that I had never stepped barefoot in the snow.  So I slipped off my slippers and stuck my feet into the snow.  Just for fun.  Just long enough for one shot!  My feet got so cold so fast...  How do people do that polar dip in the winter?  Think I'll stick to keeping warm in my slippers!

When I looked at the original photo, I felt it was missing something...  I couldn't help but add flowers to the snow, since I'm a summer girl.  The picture makes me smile now.  Sometimes, it's fun to just play!

Blooming Begonias!

My goal, each time I take out my camera, is to make photos that are better than the ones before. I am really excited about these ones... I think they speak to how I felt when I first saw these gorgeous blooms at the garden center today.
