Help me decide...

In my dining room (which is divided only by a set of cabinets from the kitchen) I have a wall with long shelves hung where I display my milk glass collection. I love this area of our home and I like to change it up for the different seasons. The wall is tan, with cream shelves and white glass... perfect for adding different colors to for the seasons. I also have a white frame hung below that I change out the photos and mats to match.

For Fall I had browns and orange accents with a pomegranate photograph. For Christmas I had red and silver accents. For Valentines I had pink and red accents and a photograph of a pink rose. For Easter I had purple accents. And now for summer I have blue accents and I needed a photograph for the white frame. So I decided I would use a blue mat and take a picture of our bushes with pretty little cream flowers on them.

That was my plan until I went outside and realized that the bushes were full of bees!! There was a crazy buzz coming from those bushes that any other day would make me run! But yesterday I put aside my fears because of my crazy compulsiveness with photography to get a "good shot"... these are what I got... I like them all and can't decide which one I want to print and frame. This is where you help... comment below with the # you like the best and think I should use in my home.

Easter 2011

Two days before Easter we spent outside sprucing up our backyard. The day started out warm with full sun but by the end of the afternoon it became overcast and started sprinkling. We completed the yard work and I decided that it'd be the perfect time to take our children's Easter photos (because the clouds help diffuse the sun and create a soft light on the subject) but by the time I finished getting the kids dressed it started to rain. These were taken around 4 pm, in the center of our yard (no shade), in approx. 15 min, with a little sprinkle of rain...

I just love the hair piece I made that mathches my daughters outfit and how the browns work so well with her coloring!

I had actually forgotten about these photos until today... thankfully I got them on the blog before next Easter :)
