Still Standing Each year I treat myself to an Easter Lily, enjoying the beauty and fragrance of some indoor springtime. This year there were 6 blossoms. Five of them opened about the same time. But it was only after these 5 had lost their lustre when the sixth one opened. It was as though this late bloomer wanted to show the beauty when there was nothing else to distract attention from it. It worked, and out came my camera.

Frost-Covered and Sky Scribbles It was a foggy morning and I rushed out to capture the frost-covered surroundings before the sun burned it off. The fog soon disappeared and I had a few moments of taking photos of the trees, still frosted, but now against a brilliant blue backdrop. To me the tree tops look like sky scribbles.
