Hey my sweeties... I wanted to show you guys a great bush, that looks like a white hydrangea, but it's not... and it's blooming it's little bushy butt off right now...
here is a closeup with a cute little pink azalea...
here is me screwing around in "Picassa"...
the same closeup with the effect "Cinemascope"
here it is when the blooms are new and a touch green
here, a little more mature blooms, and white as can be
close up
same photo "Cinemascope"
(in Picassa)
same photo with the "Ortonish" effect, just a little, all in Picassa
here it is in a tarnished little silver vase...
i bet you think i just showed you waaaaay too many photos of this bush
...but heck....
i could have also posed it with
me sitting beside it drinking a beer
or in the afternoon light
or in the morning light..
or with Ted sitting next to it reading a book...
or with me sitting beside it painting my nails...
you're lucky i stopped when i did!
anyway, this is an awesome bush
and here is it's little bushy name
Things are BURSTING into BLOOM around here!
I think heaven must be like spring and smell like lilacs, and have little soft white flower petals from the cherry trees drifting down
and flowers blooming everywhere
Here is my little house with the pink door with "Bushy"and a pink azalea, and see that crazy old Lady Banks Rose blooming on the arbor!
Mr. Fractured attacked that with the clippers a couple of years ago...
He's really cute and sexy and i like and love him and all...
but NOT when he cuts up my rose!
He was in Big Trouble!
MEN AND CLIPPERS!
you have to keep a close eye on them when they have clippers in their hands, they are not to be left unsupervised in the garden!!!
you can see my "Believe" sign is all wonky and backwards
oops
Here is the same photo with a touch of the "Ortonish" effect in Picassa
i kinda like this effect, it makes things look sweet to me...
another view with a touch of the "Ortonish" effect
I don't know what that puddle in the driveway is,
probably some horrible thing leaking from my car
Ok, let's change the subject,
you're probably thinking
"thank god,
"if she shows me another photo of that bush or shows the "Ortonish" effect again, i'm unfriending her"
Anyway...I moved the plates from the top of the mirror in the living room, to the sides,
which really makes more sense because it's a long wall,
and that helped fill the side wall space
don't know why i didn't think of that before
this.....
"ortinish effect" oops said it again!
versus this....
i didn't need more height over the mirror... i needed width !
can't resist showing a couple more more photos from the garden
just look at this sweet lady
and these petunias survived the winter, and have burst into bloom again right along with the pansies...
I've never seen that happen...
and seeing those spring pansies reminds me...
do you know what's pretty?!
make a lemon bundt cake
and frost it with lemon icing
in the center hole in the cake
put a shot glass with some water in it
(i have plenty of those, empty ones)
and then put little purpley blue and white and pale yellow pansies in it, or whatever color you have...
they are edible, so no problem with that
The colors of the pansies in the center of the cake with the pale yellow icing is so delightful and springy!
it will be the prettiest cake you'll ever see and so simple!
That's all for now, and no more pictures of "bushy"
i promise
.... the end...
