Abandoned

Both of these vehicles were parked under shelter like the owners are trying to save them, maybe with plans to restore them or just unwilling to part with them. Maybe they hold special memories...people do get attached to cars. Glad that I was able to get some photos.
Of course the top picture is of a jeep but I have no idea what make or year the truck is...anyone?

The Last Tulip

The last few days have been magnificent! We have had the most perfect spring weather and a great holiday weekend so far. I was out working in the garden yesterday and the weeds are flourishing! I never saw such a bumper crop of weeds and dandelions. I still have a lot of work to do. Two of my climbing rose bushes are showing signs of life but my oldest hydrangea is not looking good at all. This winter wreaked havoc on my garden. Trying to get all of my flower beds in order because next week I will be making my annual trek to Bourdines. Can't wait!
I was out with my camera to catch a few snaps of spring flowers. Will post more later but here is one of my last tulips....still pretty I'd say.

I Miss the Beach

          Even though it is an absolutely beautiful day here in southeast Michigan, I am longing for the beach. As I look through all my photos from South Carolina, I am remembering the wonderful walks on the beach, the sound of the waves, the sandpipers and pelicans and I am transported. I think "Well, I remember that morning and taking that picture" and of course my second thought is "I can make this picture better". I often wonder if I lived near the ocean would I go as often as I do when I vacation there. Anyway, today I am reminiscing of that particular sunny day.

Emma's Spring Concert

I really enjoyed the concert at Emma school (Athens High School). Emma, along with two other girls sang and it was so beautiful. The videos are not near as good as the sound was live. 

My pictures don't do Emma justice. had a difficult time with the lighting and finally got it right towards the end of the concert.

 It's been a long night..you're lucky guy that I didn't post the one with your mouth wide open  ;-)
