    When we went on our walk through the park I noticed that there seems to be a lot more goldenrod than usual this year.

    It’s amazing to me how much havoc one plant can wreak for people who do suffer from allergies. I’ve always liked the way it looks and am very grateful that I don’t have any allergies.

    After all the comments I’ve made on other people’s blogs drooling over their tulip photos, I can say finally, we have tulips here!

    They’re not all out yet, but getting closer every day. These are from my walk earlier this morning…

    I’ve always loved everyone’s macros of droplets and driplets on branches and petals, so thought I’d experiment a bit and see if I could capture something similar.

    Have an amazing Monday, and don’t forget to check out all the other cool shots at Macro Monday!

    Fresh snow, the smell of pine trees, being able to outside when I want to … I am so much more at peace with the world and with myself when I take time to remember the simple things and the pleasure they give… :)
