Spring is in the Air (In Kentucky!!!)
One of my favorite things to take pictures of is flowers, and
springtime in Kentucky is the perfect opportunity to get some great shots. Our lilac is blooming and we cut big bunches and bring them into the house. I love the scent of lilac!
The azalea's are also in bloom....
And don't forget about the tulips....
The yard is getting some springtime visitors...
Some shots from around the lake....
But these were my favorites - I
got the chance to get a few pictures of a hummingbird! I have only had the
chance to see a hummingbird a few times in my life and have never had the
chance to actually get pictures of one. They are SO fast that I only managed to
get a few shots but the ones I did manage to get were totally worth it! He
(she?) is totally cute. If you look closely, you'll see him in both photos below....
Those are some gorgeous photos Chablis! The flowers are so bright and colourful... definitely springtime! :o)
ReplyDeleteI can't pass up a chance to photograph pretty flowers... I went a bit flower crazy on last Sunday's hike, the canyon was covered with lovely little wildflowers... and now I have over 200 photos to deal with! :p
We'll be waiting to see YOUR pictures next!
DeleteWOW! They are gorgeous!! And the pictures of the hummer are amazing! Just saw one here in VA today, hoping I can catch them on film!! Great Job Chablis!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love to see the hummingbirds and rarely get to. Its such treat when they show up.
DeleteI also love to take photos of flowers.
ReplyDeleteLike you said Spring is the best time
of the year..
Thanks so much for your visit and yes
Rustoleum Paint has a quart just for
counter tops and get this,, only $19.99
I did my kitchen counters 3 years
ago now and not a scratch on them yet!
It's great for people who just don't have
the funds for expensive new counters.
Have a great day
Sandy
Thanks Sandy, I had no idea you could do that and its just the fix we need for the lake house kitchen.
DeleteI love lilacs! We still have a long wait before mine will be in bloom. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't they smell great? That speaks spring to me!
DeleteGood job Chablis! Her lilac photos are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda - she's really working on her technique.
DeleteI'm dying for my lilacs. Maybe I'll try to force some branches. Chablis took great photos. J
ReplyDeletePerfect! I am so glad spring has come for you guys. I bet you will be all over the place now.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos! Love the little hummers! I could almost smell the lilacs.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

Love the humming birds. We have a lot here. One of our museums has a humming bird area you can go to. The buzz around you and are all over! It is so neat..... but i like your redwinged black bird most ;-)
