Cherry Blossoms

Being my first spring in D.C. I decided to venture out and check out the cherry blossoms. I also had recently gotten a new wide angle lens for the camera so this was the perfect opportunity to test it out. These particular blossoms are from the Weeping Cherry Tree at the Smithsonian Castle in Washington D.C.

During my trip to Florida I visited the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. It was a gorgeous place that showcased thousands of beautiful flowers. The humidity in the greenhouse cause some fog on the lens but I think it gives it an ethereal touch.

Pansies in a Kettle

Pansies in a Kettle

Life continues all around us…I planted pansy seeds in this kettle last summer and only a few little plants grew. I figured they would die over the winter since they weren’t in the ground and the kettle would most likely freeze but they surprised me. These pansies are a lot stronger than I gave them credit for because they are happy and thriving.

Every time I look at this picture I think of Alice in Wonderland when the flowers dance and sing. It may seem funny but it makes me happy to look at the pansies’ little faces.
This is my Happy New Year picture because I don’t have any special celebration ones.

On that note, I hope everyone’s new year is filled with happy faces.

Lilies come in all different varieties and I can’t say I have a favorite. I tend to love them all, it’s my favorite flower. The one pictured above is a Casablanca Lily, they get large flowers and have a very aromatic scent. Perfect to bring into the house to make it smell nice! Lilies amaze me because of the variety of color and sizes that they come in, plus they are more unique than a rose. I’d much rather get a lily than a rose.
