Zion in the Spring

My husband and I were blessed to be able to visit Zion National Park during the Spring season.  I was expecting warmer weather, but we were met with a little bit of snow and ice.  It was an amazing trip.  The snow and fog and clouds made for interesting photography.  Several of these photos are new, never been published.  Yes, I'm still playing catch up! 

 

 

Spring

This spring has been unusually warm this year.  I haven't been able to get out to photograph as much as I'd like, but I was able to get out a few times and capture some of God's handiwork.  The trees have all been in full bloom making gorgeous photos to work with.

Tip-toe Through the Tulips

It's tulip time here in Saint Louis...so I did me a little tip-toeing.  The displays were gorgeous and it's sad they only last such a short time.

This little boy was so excited to see the ducks swimming toward him...I couldn't resist a snapshot to capture him leaning in to talk to them!

Spring is in the Air

The branches are lined with lace...beautiful and delicate.  Walking around the city, I came across several trees in bloom.  The cherry trees and dogwoods were in bloom and the crab apples weren't far behind.

I found a path in the Botanical Gardens that I had never been on before.  As you can see, it was a treasure.  The dogwoods were beautiful.

The Midwest is Awakening

I promised a few landscapes from our trip to the Gardens.  I'm glad I had some time today to work on a few.  It was a gorgeous day and the trees had begun to bloom which was an added bonus to the day seeings how I wasn't expecting that much color.  Sometimes I wish this part of the year would last forever, but then Fall comes and I begin wishing the same thing.  God must have known we'd get bored with the same thing...so He paints us a new picture every few months.
