Colin Turns 2

It seems like just yesterday that I was posting Colin's 1st Birthday photos - wow!  Ari and I took him up to the awesome Mariposa Coffee Company to play (aka get some shots for his 2nd birthday).  We had fun romping around with the one legged rooster and frogs, and playing amongst the grapevines and apple trees.  And despite the speed at which this kid moves, we were able to get some great Colin smiles!

Emma Grace

My beautiful Maid of Honor gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last month - Emma Grace.  We finally had a chance to get some photos of her this morning.  She wasn't in the best mood, but we worked with what we had!  Here's Miss Emma:

Did I mention I like roses?

My rose bushes are going wild with this weather!  (So is my shutter!)

In Bloom

Despite the wind, it was a beautiful day out and I couldn't resist the opportunity to snag some photos of the blooms in our garden.

Love love love these tulips I planted in October!  Such a nice addition to the hundreds of bulbs already here.  Obsessed much? :)

First rose of the season, and it's on my favorite rose bush - the Sterling Silver!  Smells so good!

Roses are my favorite flower to photograph - so delicate and so unique!

These pink/white ones are gorgeous - this is the second rose of the season

The color is so vibrant it almost cannot be captured!

Spring Has Sprung

I don't have a whole lot of energy right now, but I did need to feed my soul with some time in the sun and some time with my Nikon. These are from my backyard.

Fast cars & Florida fun - the photos

Here is the longer photo spread from our recent trip to Florida and the Daytona International Speedway (and these aren't even all of them)
