Simple Things

I haven't been taking many pictures lately. It's that time of year I guess. Or laziness. Maybe both.

I can only take so many pictures of my dogs, right? There are no leaves on the trees. Most of the flowers are dead. The natural world around the ToadMama abode is looking rather dismal.

But things are looking up. Spring is in the air. I did buy some pansies to plant yesterday. A pathetic few not worth photographing yet. Especially since it is raining.

I also bought myself a small bunch of fresh-cut carnations at the grocery store. A simple thing, really. But they are quite colorful and perky. So colorful and perky, in fact, that I was inspired to take some pics.

I posted the rest of the shots on my FLICKR page. Along with a few shots of my African Violets, which are only blooming thanks to Hubby's diligence in watering and feeding them.

I embedded a little slide show here for your viewing convenience.

I hope you enjoy the images. As you look, think SPRING!
