Birthday Weekend

   Last week for my birthday celebration, I requested a day in the park and pizza at Mellow Mushroom. I have always wanted to check out the Anne Springs Close Greenway in SC. They were having a Earth Day celebration and offered free admission to everyone. It ended up being a perfect, sunny day. We walked the trails and visited the horses. There are old historic buildings, a barn that can be rented for weddings, etc., walking/riding trails and a lake. I was so happy to spend the afternoon with my favorite fellas -- and the pizza was delicious too.

Spring In the South

   Despite what the pollen is doing to all the allergy sufferers out there - I have truly enjoyed the flowering trees this spring. I love the cherry trees, Bradford Pears and Red Buds. Plus the Japanese Maples look so beautiful when the sun shines on their red leaves. The intensity of the red is amazing. Here are a few images of the blooms I have photographed this season.
