[119/365] – Little White Flowers

Little White Flowers

Another busy busy work day. I’m looking forward to just kinda relaxing this afternoon.

The only plans I have are to maybe do some laundry. Maybe not though :) I might watch some more stuff on netflix, I love streaming movies, and not having to send dvd’s back and forth.

I went into the Mission Hill church this afternoon intending to take some shots of the stained glass windows, but I got sucked into a conversation. Nice guy George. He had some good advice on making the most of each and every day. That is something I need to do more of. I need to really enjoy each and every day. I spend a lot of time just working, then coming home to relax. But have I really enjoyed the day? Not so much.

[118/365] – Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding Hearts

I’ve been trying to get a shot like this for the last couple of days. I managed to get home RIIIIGHT at the right time today. The sun was out and shining and backlit these beautiful bleeding heart flowers just right.

Glad I got this shot today, as it’s going to get worse and worse the rest of the week. Fun times.

I keep waiting for the cherry trees down the street to fully bloom. They are just buds still, and just hanging there are the bud stage. I hope they don’t bloom when it’s all rainy and I don’t get to get a good picture! Every day I take a couple of shots on the way, and think “nope, not yet” and just keep going. *crosses fingers*

[117/365] – Backlit Leaves

Backlit Leaves

Ran a few errands after work today and I saw these leaves, nicely backlit by the setting sun, on my walk home from the store. I really love the purple in the background, it helps brighten things up as well!

Busy busy busy at work today. Straight out all day long, but one bonus: My boss bought an espresso maker. Solid, good, tasty coffee at work! Man I like that. I had a couple of shots halfway through the day and they kicked my butt into gear. I love that!

I had good cappuccino yesterday, and good espresso today. What a world! Did I mention we found an italian speaking cafe near my house? Caffe Toscana, just a few minutes from my house by public transport. The owner is from Lucca, and lives here now. I was able to order in italian, maybe not perfectly, but good enough!

[116/365] – Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers

I have no idea what these flowers are, but I saw the sun shining through them on my way to an appointment today and I liked how it looked. I think the clouds in the background are really what give it the extra push.

I am so happy that spring is finally here, and that plants are growing again. I was so sick of brown. Now I have an abundance of colors around me everyday!

There are even tulips growing on the hill below the house, they are looking great as well. I think I’m going to try to get some shots of the bleeding hearts tomorrow.

Yay spring!

[115/365] – Handmade Quilt

Handmade Quilt

I’ve been hanging the quilt my aunt made for Gianna on the edge of the crib to block the setting sun from blinding her while she naps. Yesterday I saw the sun shining through the first layer and I meant to take a picture, but I didn’t have time. So today I made a point to do it.

I had to do it while in the middle of a 2 hour marathon feeding session for Gianna, but I got a few good shots. I liked this one the best. I like the contrast between the lights and darks, as well as the sharp focus on the left and the blurriness of the rest.
