Little Purple Flowers

                        

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.

Sunday Stills - Hands Challenge

Saturday my friend and I went out to Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet, CA to take pictures of the wildflowers.  She brought her grandson with her who is adorable and so patient while we took forever taking pictures of the flowers.  While he played with his action figures, I realized that I had an opportunity to meet the Sunday Stills challenge of HANDS!

Here are Dalin's hands

Descanso Gardens - In Bloom

Spent Saturday at Descanso Gardens photographing the beautiful blooms.  If you get a chance now is the time to see so much beauty.

This is one of my favorite shots of the day. The extreme contrast of the dark bark of the tree and the pure white of the blossom was awesome!

There are two roses in my front yard.  That's it.  That's all I've got.  One in bloom and one budding.

Savannah came home from the hospital yesterday. This is her today with her nasty staple incision. She's doing well and she's happy to be home. We're happy to have her home too.

Savannah's 7th Birthday (February 10, 2010)

Savannah turned 7 years old today.  We celebrated with her annual birthday cupcake and candle.  She's scheduled for surgery on the 16th to repair a bulging disc in her neck.  The past few months have been tough on us.  It's been hard seeing her unsteady and wobbly on her paws.  In December she must have hurt herself while jumping off the bed.  The injury most likely triggered her weaken disc(s) and now she is headed for surgery.  I'm scared; my husband is scared and we can only hope and pray that she will come out better than before, but most of all we pray that she will come through the surgery alive.

Here is Savannah having a lazy birthday cupcake.  She is not moving much...however, her tongue seems to be making up for her stationary position.

 

  

  

  

  

Happy Birthday My Precious Savannah!
