365 Project Update ~ April 2010

There was a little bit of sputtering this month on my 365 project, but everything turned out in the end. It has been smooth sailing this week with clouds as a theme. Some interesting pictures and formations have come of it, and there have been clouds in the sky every day. In fact, there have been an abundance of clouds and overcast days.

Ray of Light ~ 119/365

Of course the week we choose to have clouds as a theme, it would rain constantly. there have been some nice clear days, but a majority of my pics this week have had dark clouds. The one from today is my favorite, though.

Storm Rolls Out ~ 120/365

There was sun and storm clouds. Made for a much more interesting picture than just sunny or just stormy.

Red Columbines

I love spring and the many flowers it brings. Red Columbines like these in particular bring back memories of my childhood. They grew wild on my grandparents' farm near Little Falls. When I was young, I would eat the nectar-filled lobes from the back of the flower. Quite tasty, as I recall.

Yellow & Red Tulips

Similar name as the last post, slightly different concept. More tulips have bloomed at the Ames Florida Stork House. They are definitely up there in my top 10 favorite flowers.

I spotted this single tulip in the front yard of the historic Ames Florida Stork House in Rockford, Minnesota.

I also snapped a few photos of some prolifically growing lavender-colored flowers. I love spring and all of the pretty flowers it brings!

White Flowers Everywhere

In the Rule of Thirds photography assignment from last week, I included a picture of some white flower buds. I thought they were just rose-like in appearance. A few days ago, I saw the same flowers and they had made a wonderful transformation!

They are beautiful! I don't know what they're called, though. Does anyone have any ideas?
