Today's Flowers: Then and Now

2009-12-20T07:31:00.004-05:00

I thought I'd take a look through the seasons of flowers. The first shot is of the tulip tree which bloomed early only to be hit with an early March snow.

The shot below is of my gerber daisies in July with their summer face on.

I had one last black eyed susan (below) which bloomed this fall on my deck after the rest had gone to seed.

I took the shot below this Friday after winter had left the flower pots on my deck empty of flowers. The tiny bit of snow was here and gone quickly but at least we got a little before Christmas.

Photohunters: Fast

2009-12-18T07:23:00.001-05:00

The photohunters theme this week is fast. I fear that I will be rather cliché but I thought I'd do a photographic look at the old saying that children grow up so fast.

It seems like yesterday, in some ways, when my daughter was a little girl. The shots above and below were taken during the Christmas of 1986. At least I think I have the year right based on my recollection of what my daughter looked like when she was that age.

In the shot above my daughter is playing with her grandmother (my mother) and with her father (Bill) on Christmas morning.

I'm guessing the shot above was one I took of my daughter around 1989 under our Christmas tree. Time kept moving so fast that before I knew it, my daughter was coming home from college for Christmas. There she is under our Christmas tree below in 2003.

Time has continued to move fast and my daughter graduated from law school this year. I took the shot below last weekend when she was home for an early Christmas visit.

For other photohunters, please visit the home of the hunt where participants post beginning on Saturday.

I think I'll let the photograph below suffice for this week's nature note.
