The other day I came across leafless tree full of white blooms. From a distance the flowers looked very daisy like….after asking around I found out the tree was in the Mongolia family.

They day I shot these photos the sky was completely overcast….hence the images are a little flat….but it rained the next day and not a single bloom was left after the downpour…so I was really glad I took the pictures while I had the chance.

It has been raining a lot here in Georgia…so last week for lunch I went to the University of Georgia’a State Botanical Garden. The conservatory always has an area for orchids, but that day orchids were everywhere. Hundreds of blooms….everywhere….

A kind elderly volunteer with a warm smile made comments on the flowers as he floated around meeting the guests…was a great hour spent!

At 12…. I was an avid National Geographic watcher and reader….well maybe picture reader. Can’t believe I didn’t major in photojournalism or biology.

The photo that got me hooked on the wonderment of these trees…was an image of a car driving through the bottom of a Sequoia. I remember making I promise to myself that day, to go out west and see a Sequoia for myself.

Finally got to go… and that day was my birthday…I turned 46.

Georgia had another round of ice last week. Governor Deal called for a state of emergency and all of us got to leave work early. So what better way to spend a free afternoon than with our families four legged friends. Snapped a few photos of them while we just hung out.

This is Autumn…I’ve posted pictures of her before. She is our wild kitty. Her mother was a feral cat and Autumn is at times…. testy. When we pet her we have to be careful because we never know when her mood will change….but we still love her….and her mood always changes for the better when you call her “Pretty Kitty.”

Next, is Pantherina….we call her Panther for short. She has been a part of our family for 11 years and she is a sweetie. She never bites or scratches.

Next up is Pettie….forgive his bad teeth…he is getting old. Over 6 years ago he got dumped off at our house. He was skin-n- bones and scared of everything and everyone. Took him over year to stop snapping at the kids. But now we is a very mellow Jack-Russel Chihuahua mix. Got this picture of him while he was laying next to a heater warming himself….the smile on his face was from a belly rub.

Lastly up is Bruno. He just turned two….and he is huge. Bruno was a little thing when someone dumped him and his brother off at a neighbor’s house. When we brought Bruno home he hugged me all the way and peed on my jacket. He is our big baby.
