192/265 Purple Flower

Does anyone know this flowers name?

Oh I know, another flower.  Because they are so beautiful and we have had so much snow this past winter, I am not sure I can ever tire of looking at flowers.
And I have thousands of photos to edit right now. I am in the midst of designing three, no, four coffee table books for clients and prefecting and sending orders to print. I have two more shoots in the queue. I am a tad swamped.

So another flower.

On another note, I spent some big bucks on a new photoshop on line course today and so far it looks very, very promising. Learning new techniques already!!  I am a little excited.
Although I am not sure I have an extra 5 hours in the day to sit at the computer. I have been here since 8am.
It is now 8:20 pm.

191/365 Ahhhhchoo!

Even Bumble bees get colds I guess. :)
Or maybe he is just a very messy bee.

190/365 Tiger Lily

Don't you just love the brilliant orange of the Tiger Lily? They put on such a wonderful show for us. Too bad it only lasts a week.
I had the morning off so I took a bike ride around the forestry farm. I photographed probably 20 flowers but this Tiger Lily is my favorite tonight.
I am pretty pleased that I also caught a little bee in perfect focus as well as the flower stamen.
Liking this one.
Try clicking on the photo to see it larger, in more detail and on black. Really worth the 'click'

189/365 Birthday Time

Someone is 2 years old very soon!

188/365 Laser Fun

My son bought a laser pen that has a kaleidoscope attachment.
Makes for some cool designs on the basement ceiling.
Much better larger and on black so go ahead and click on it. 

187/365 Saskatoon Engagement

Natalie and Nathan are getting married this summer and I can feel the love!
Here is one of today's many photos. We spent a fun hour with them and loved seeing how Nathan can make Natalie break into laughter in a moment.
It reminded me of how my sweetheart wooed me 35 years ago.
And I still laugh at his jokes....those same ones he told me so long ago.
Love is a wonderful thing.

My peony is in full bloom and I am enjoying it.

So are the wasps and the ants though..... can you find them?
