Spring is on its way!

When I walked outside my front door this morning, I was surprised to see our azaleas already starting to bloom. (This being only our second year here, I still don't know what to expect to be in bloom when.) They're such pretty flowers, and never cease to make me smile. So I guess spring really will be here soon!

Patience Pays Off

I love watching the hummingbirds on our feeder. This afternoon, I took some pictures of them with my zoom lens, but they just weren't quite sharp enough. I then put my 50mm lens on there, got closer to the feeder, and waited. And waited. Finally, I was rewarded by this little guy, who didn't shy away from the camera and allowed me to get some awesome shots!

Yum...

There's nothing better than the smell of fresh-baked cookies!
