Catch the SunLight

This morning, I was planning to continue my spring posts with photos from my latest apple tree blossoms collection but when I started working converting files I found a folder I have forgotten from the beginning of January and I got completely sidetracked converting those files instead. 

Go figure, we work in mysterious ways sometimes.

Anyway, that particular morning was really special because I was waiting for it since last year. You see, the place where I took the photos is along a little road that climbs a hill. Twice a years, at about 9am in the morning, the sun shines down this road at exactly the perfect angle. Then I need some rain to have fallen during the night so everything would be covered in raindrops. And then I come with the camera and I take photos. Sounds easy enough, but it is not easy to have all the conditions present at the same right time.

I am only trying to Catch the Sun Light. How hard can it be?

Here is the result you can judge for yourselves

Spring ...AT LAST

It is time for a few blossoms, at this time of the year, this is the best thing there is!!

Usually I wait impatiently for the first blossoms to appear. I lay in wait for months and change my route just so I can pass by my favourite bunch of cherry trees and inspect the amount of buds appearing or is there any signs of blossoms or is it good for photos yet. It is all part of the big picture - the joy of spring and shooting the blossoming trees. I love it as much as chasing the colours of autumn.

Here are a few of my faves from the last couple of years. Enjoy the beauty of spring with me!

Thanks for visiting!!

It is time for spring

After a long, cold and very temperamental winter I really think it is about time for spring to arrive!!

I am tired of wind and rain, I want a bit of blue sky and warm sun rays on my face! I want to listen to the birds singing happily before the sun rolls out of the bogs, I want to feel the warmth of the coming summer (eventually)....Right, I am getting a bit carried away here...
For now I will settle down with a few spring flowers photos :-)

Oh, yah, and happy spring days to everyone!!

 

Thanks for stopping by ;-)

Fun with Frost

When there is no deep snow to mess around with there is a bit of fancy frost to take a few photos of.

I guess that will do for now.  Something to take my mind of the raging storm outside. 
Yes, I know, Another storm!!

Lost in the magic of bad weather

Yes, I am still lost in a perpetual, day-after-day succession of  storms with thunder and lightning, and more and more rain, and more wind....

For how long, I do not know, but it feels as if it has been going on forever.

And believe me, it is as if someone wrapped the area where we live in an invisible bubble of bad weather, because it is definitely not as bad everywhere else in the county and in the country.

The bad weather is localized just here. It is extra rainy and extra windy. Sometimes, just a few kilometers away it's nice and sunny, while where we live it pours like crazy!!

It all has to do with the position of our town I believe, so there is nothing we can really do about it except get some really good rain gear and tough it up.

As usual my images look a bit strange, so Google hasn't resolved their issue with uploading images yet.  Very annoying situation because I lost a lot of time deleting and finding new ones instead of the ones I was planning to use!!
