Its like eating one donut too many

So sweet. I brought my cellphone, with a pic of these flowers,to Leaf & Petal to ask anyone if they knew what the flower was called. Gerber Daisy? Two say. No, the flower is soft like a daisy, but smaller… The guy who would know just went to lunch. Go see if you can find…

this rose is from Saab Nursery

Which is why there are black at the edges. I figured out how to make red look natural. I have spent a lot of time dumping red flowers because I couldn’t make them look real. I guess I would figure it out on my own red roses. Ok, so I reduced saturation by almost 50%…

and all I had was my iPhone

I, being the perfect daughter (dripping sarcasm, i write), visited with my mother (i am blessed) on Mother’s day. No camera, only iPhone (Ggrrr). I should know by now that I should never go home…(oops) to my parent’s house, without my (damn) camera. My mom made this piece of art (that I left behind 😦…

My flowers

Wavy windows

Downtown Birmingham, Alabama…it is a pretty good looking mix of old & new architecture…and what-were-they-thinking buildings. My favorite is the old stuff, that seems to be where the love is. God is in the details. I think, with architecture, love is in the details. Older buildings, was a time when the craftsmen showed people what…

chance of a lifetime

My son & I were driving to the grocery store.  When we pulled out onto the main road, we were behind a BMW, in front of the BMW was a dark blue NEW Ferrari!  We were peeking around the BMW to watch that piece of metal silk driving on the same road we do, when…

Lace in the window

I used to think lace in the window was an old fashion idea, that only old ladies had the lace. I tried every modern window treatment over the years in many different houses & hundreds of different windows. The lace is still old fashion, but my grandmother hung lace in her windows, along with heavy…
