Lookin' Out My back Door

Today is absolutely gorgeous!! It was a warm 52 degrees & windy this morning when I took the girls to school. The sky was a beautiful blue. When I walked home from taking Darien to school, I was walking into the wind. It had picked up some, and I felt like I was getting a hard workout!! LOL

The clouds were wispy white against the clear blue sky. I just had to take a picture. I had Darien {reluctantly} pose for me. Although you can barely see her face, I love the way her silhouette looks against the sky & clouds.

If she had worn her hair down, it would've looked cool blowing in the wind. But, hey, I got her to pose. That was a huge accomplishment!!

I was inspired to take more pictures. And improve on my photography skills.

Across the street, the Public Library had it's flags waving. I love how this picture came out. I did some photo manipulation just to brighten up the colors of the flags a bit.


That blue sky looks so awesome!!

I took a few more photos from my back deck.

A palm tree



And a pine branch that hangs over the back deck


I pretty much like the color of the sky. The palm & pine trees aren't anything that special. But a solid blue picture of sky would be very boring to look at. The wind blew away all the clouds by the time I got home. :(

We get some shade from that pine tree. But we also get a lot of this outside my front door on windy days


And some of this



And a bit of this on the back deck


The pots Savvy painted. They look cool. She had plants in them. In her room. Until she killed them. Poor flowers. They are all dried up & brown.

They asked me to not take their picture.

They were embarrassed.....
