No paparazzi

February 27, 2015February 27, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

People and pets - the two most difficult creatures to photograph. I’ve had better luck capturing moments with wild animals than either of my kids or any of my furkinder.

Roy G. Biv… red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet - that elementary school acronym we learned so we could remember the colors of a rainbow, and their prism sequence.

It’s already the middle of February, and in Florida that’s typical spring planting season. There are still a few sub-freezing nights forecasted, so I can’t get started on my garden just yet. I’m behind in prep work. I have to weed my planters, buy my starter plants, but even before that I have to decide … Continue reading Spring planting
