My favorite time in the garden is when the honeysuckle vine is in full bloom. The bees and hummingbirds love these flowers and so do I. I just found a different variety online that blooms Spring to Fall so I may have to add that to the garden for next year so that we can enjoy the fragrance all summer long!

The Columbine flowers were beautiful at Longwood Gardens back in April. I chose to shoot with just one lens all day – my Lensbaby Velvet 56 – all handheld. Quite a different experience from my earlier visits to Longwood when I almost always shot with my 100mm macro and a tripod. Assigning yourself a project is a great way to break out of a photographic slump!

We are having the craziest weather! A few weeks ago we had a snowfall of over 24″. Last weekend, the temperatures were in the teens with wind chills below zero and drifting snow. Today, it was 64 degrees with bright sunshine that definitely gave me a touch of spring fever! I’m thinking ahead to flowers and macro photography! I can’t wait!
