I would have to say bleeding hearts are my favorite flowers. All flowers are pretty but they just stand out to me and they are so unique looking. Every year I am so excited and happy when they bloom in our backyard. When I saw they bloomed I went outside to photograph them before it was too late. If I missed out I would of been so upset, but I am happy with how the photo above came out. I captured the beauty and the delicateness of these magnificent flowers. What do you think?
So, the town photo contest is finally here and I need your help! It is my last year to enter because I will be graduating soon. As some of you remember last year I won second place and the year before that I one first. I need to enter a photo by April 19 but I am at a halt. I can not decide which photograph to enter. I need to choose a photo that represents my town through my eyes. Yes, all these photos were taken in my town. Now, I just need to narrow it down to one magnificent photo. Help!

Oh my goodness. Its April and I graduate in June! Its so close. Did I just say close? All year I have been saying its so far away but if I think about it, it will be here sooner than I think. So, in my school the girls wear white dresses and the men wear suits for graduation. My white dress that my mom ordered came in the mail the other day. I tried it on and my mom said I looked beautiful. That really opened up my eyes about that I will be done with school in a few months. I am excited and scared. Happy and sad. Ready and not ready. I am filled with mixed emotions about graduating.
Dont get me wrong. I want out but its gonna be a big change. Change has always scared me. Its interesting to watch my friends talk about how excited they are to graduate but then see the fear in them that they try to hide. You know. Since, its high school and you need to act cool and hide the emotions that seems like weakness. In my opinion, admitting that you are scared and unsure is healthier and will make the process easier.
My big concern is what the hell am I going to do after? Who will I be? Where do I go? I have already been searching for my life and purpose for years now. Maybe having no school will help me create the life I want or maybe I will feel like I really have no life. I do not know but I do know I have my mom and dogs to help guide me. I am so thankful for that.
So, I am going to get some sleep because I still have to attend school until I graduate. Hehe. Maybe, I will have a dream of walking in my white dress and seeing my mom in tears. Dont worry, I will make sure to get pictures of me on graduation. Me? In a dress?! Its a rare site. Something that happens only once every few years. Until then you can all wonder what I look like in a dress. Its a mystery. Hehe. Night night.
Today was the first day of my Spring break. My last Spring break I will ever have! Wow. How am I going to spend it? Well, taking lots of photographs. Of what? Hmm. Well, my dogs of course and plants that are coming alive. I would also like to record lots of videos with my video camera of my opinions about certain subjects and whatever else sparks my mind. The weather is suppose to be wonderful so I will have to go on one of my long bicycle rides I love to do. My plan for this break is just to have fun because there are no more long breaks before I graduate in June. Its not that far off! So time to enjoy my Spring break before it is gone.
Spring weather. Gotta love it! Its been raining for the past few days but that’s okay because the next few days it is suppose to be sunny and in the seventies! I took this photo about a week or so ago. I loved how no all the clouds were getting lit up by the sun. Clouds even look better in the Spring time. Hehe. Maybe its just my excitement. What is your favorite thing about Spring? Mine is probably watching plants come alive again and the warmer weather. Gotta love it!
Walking outside in a t shirt. The windows down in the car. Blooming plants. Everything seems to be coming alive slowly but surely on this first day of spring in New Jersey.
Its been a long time since I could go to school in just a t shirt and no hoodie. Felt great! The temperature was in the high fifties and the sun was shining with not a cloud in the sky. There was also a nice breeze. It was a perfect day!
The first sign of spring popped up in the garden a few days ago. It is so exciting to see the first flowers of spring. Know what they are? Snow drops. These pretty little white flowers put a smile on my face knowing that spring is in the air. Woohoo! The garden is coming alive!
I had off school today. It was no holiday and I was not skipping. I was off because of all the snow New Jersey got. The beautiful cold white snow would not stop falling from the sky. It started yesterday and continued through the night and into today. I can not complain though. I enjoy snow during the winter because it is what I expect from this season. So, today I used my Russian muscles and shoveled the driveway for my mother. It was harder than the other times because it was very wet snow but I accomplished it.
Letting you all know because I know some of you will wonder and asl. This is not our house. I just thought the white house and white snow made a great winter photo. I like the way it came out. You get the feeling of a New Jersey snow scene. I hope everyone is staying warm and if you are working or down do not be too depressed because it is Friday!
