Country Living Southern Style II

FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS:  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  I pray you have a wonderfully blessed Christmas with your families and may 2012 find you happy, healthy, and prosperous!

Wow, can't believe it has been 5 months since I have done a post.  On December 13, 2011, we had a beautiful harvest moon, so I will use that as my entry.  Merry Christmas!

My daughter went to Myrtle Beach in S.C. with friends for a few days in June. When she got back, I went over to her place to visit and find out about how her trip went. This gorgeous sunset was captured just after a pretty rough thunderstorm. My DSLR camera battery had died and I was freakin' out because I was afraid I was going to miss the shot, but my daughter handed me her best friend's camera and I was still able to get a few shots. I was a happy camper! :)

All I want to say is God can sure paint a pretty picture for me to capture, can't He? :)

I have tried for three months to capture this little bugger...on camera! Guess my persistence finally paid off. :)

The first bloom to blossom in my oxalis. This is a teeny tiny bloom, but the camera makes it look like a regular-sized flower. I think that qualifies for the Macro challenge. :)

I'm so excited that Spring is almost here! So tired of the cold. This was an unusually cold winter for Alabama. We usually have nine months of summer (well, a slight exaggeration there, but you know what I mean). I just saw my first butterfly for this season. Spring is definitely in the air! Woo Hoooooooooooooooooooooo!~
