Lovely Old Summer Days

The weather is dreary and cold.
I am sitting by the fireplace dreaming of the days of old.
(I'm a Poet, and didn't know it!)

As I sit, memories of Summer drift back to me.

 Dew drops, glistening in the sun...

 Butterflies, bees and dragon flies...

 Lovely sun-rays and sunsets...

All my recent photos are to grey to edit today.
I will count this as a New Year's post and this is the Recap of 2014.
      Pretty lousy recap... Oh well.

Love,
Hagen

Odds & Ends {no.8}

Another post of Odds and Ends...

 The other morning was quite foggy. All the spider webs, which are usually invisible, became quite visible. It was beautiful.

 I was playing around on PicMonkey and merged two pictures together. I thought it looked cool...

 I was so excited about this photo. I have been waiting all Summer for these little guys to come around. When they finally did, I was quick to capture them.

Isn't he so cute! I love humming birds so much!

Upside down...

Well, that's all for now...
Thanks for looking!

Floral Colors

I am happy. So happy I just might cry. Or laugh. I'm not sure.
The flowers are blooming. The grass is green. Spring has finally come!

A beautiful "Paper White."

This is a Flowering Quince blossom. It took us so long to figure out what it was. Someone told us it was a pear tree and we kinda left it at that for awhile but it isn't bearing any fruit. I"m grateful for internet!

These are just a few blossoms hanging out in our yard.
I'm totally backed up. I have so many folders of pictures to go through. It's going to be a rainy week so maybe I'll get caught up....

Blessings,
Hagen

Odds & Ends {3}

As you my have noticed, I am way behind on my posts. I am sorry. 
But I have a good excuse. I have been busy learning lots of new thing. I  have learned that I can not take "Double Exposure" shots on my camera, which I am really bummed about. But I have found a way to overlay images on PicMonkey, which is similar to Double Exposure, just not as cool... I also found out about Highlight Priority, my new best friend...

So....
Lets cut to the chase....

 Bokeh... I didn't add it....

 Icy trees...

 

Snow Flakes....

I new they are few, but I hope you enjoyed seeing them...

Of course the ice and snow has long since melted, but it was still just so beautiful. Especially when the sun came and all the trees glittered silver in it's rays....

Love,

Hagen

Snow...

Is it here? Is Winter really here? I believe so! The ground is white, millions and millions of little snowflakes cover it. They stick to my eyelashes and crunch beneath my feet. Balls of snow fly through the air and the snowmen stand resplendent in the yard.

There is not much else to say. The snow is to beautiful for words....

Love,
Hagen
