the rose garden

This is one of those places that I love to visit whenever I get the chance to. Every time I make it here it's like escaping somewhere far and the drive is only 15 minutes from home. I love it's peaceful atmosphere but the the heavenly and sweet fragrance of this beautiful and captivating place is what keeps me coming back.
My mom came with me for the first time the other day and she loved it. Just the feeling of being surrounded by so many gorgeous flowers makes any one's spirit sing with joy.

  Trying to catch up on my 52 weeks proyect, I've been slacking off so much... sigh... will get back on track.

I'm also having so much fun with my new camera {Nikon D7000} I just recently purchased and  I love it!
  Went out today and shoot my friend's daughter's soccer game. I got some good shots of her kicking the ball so I'm happy about that. :)


 



 

love & blossoms

Love doesn't sit there like a stone. It has to be made like bread; remade all the time,...made new.

~ Le Guin

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

~ Helen Keller

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

~Kahlil Gibran

Romantic Spring

Hear blessings

Dropping their blossoms

around you.

~Rumi

a touch of spring love {12/52}

Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the great values of life.
We can't prove them, or explain them, yet they are the most stable things in our lives.

window love {9/52}

I was invited by Angel to link up for her 3rd Photo Challenge themed VINTAGE.  I got very excited when she asked me since I love vintage pictures! :)

I don't know what it is but there's something about a window and a flower in a vase that I love... this is the window sill of my kitchen that's right in front of my sink. I always try to have at least one flower in a vase. Just a simple flower makes me happy especially to look at while doing the dishes.

 

To make this photo look vintage, I decided to experiment with one of  Kristy's textures that I won from her a few weeks ago. I really love how this photo turned out! I can't wait to try her other textures! Check out her blog @  Life-n-Reflection . Thanks Kristy for your wonderful textures!! And keep up the great work!! ;)

I also want to say thank you to all of you who stop by and leave a sweet comment every time. I really appreciate it very much. It makes me happy to see that I'm not just posting to a void space. Thank you, thank you, thank you! from the bottom of my heart! I also look forward to visiting each and everyone's blog as soon as I get a chance to- that way I can return the favor ;).

I have to admit I'm a horrible blogger. I've been very distracted lately and that is why I haven't been able to post anything for almost a month!! What was I thinking? Hopefully this won't happen again... sigh.... we'll see what happens. Wishing everyone who reads this a lovely weekend!! ;)
