giveaway day :: spring prints

Today is Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day. I love Giveaway Day! It's such a fun way to meet lots of new people. I'm going to keep this post short and simple, so here's the details...

GiveawayDay 

Giveaway

I thought long and hard about what to giveaway and thought I would offer up something photography related. Hanging in my kitchen I have a set of three prints that I took at the Dallas Arboretum. I love these. They remind me of spring days amidst the flowers and butterflies. I'm offering this entire set (unframed) in 5X7's! Giveaway is open worldwide and ends May 25th at 7 pm CST when random number generator will choose one winner!

MMMMMMM spring! I have a lot of favorite things about spring, but this year, my most favorite thing has been plants! I have attempted to take up gardening and have a plethora of plants in my backyard, all in pots, waiting to be put into a garden. YAY! It is so fun to watch plants grow and bloom!

Beautiful should be your middle name! Everything you do has the fingerprints of God on it, and I love it.

Spring wakes my soul with beauty and a symphony on a grand scale. Birds, flowers, green, life....the list goes on. I feel alive in spring like no other season.

In New Orleans spring comes early with a profusion of flowering trees, bushes, and flowers. The smell can be intoxicating and the weather is warm enough to stay out really late and have a glass of wine with friends.

Libby said...

My favorite thing about spring is seeing the perennials, bulbs etc that I planted previously appear and make themselves known. Sometimes it's a brand new plant, sometimes it is bigger and fuller and taller than the year before, or with better flowers. It's immensely gratifying.

Jen, my favorite thing about spring are definitely the colorful flowers. The fresh green, the pretty blossoms -- and, of course, the singing of the birds. :)

What a lovely give away. I think the best thing about spring is all the birds coming back :-)

Amy said...

I love how fresh things small in spring - everything coming to life again. Love the happy and excited noises of the birds who are thankful for the longer days and better weather. I too love the longer days and better weather!!

Reb Thack said...

My pomegranite tree... It leafs out with red tips, then the waxy hard flowers open and soft petals begin to extend. By the end of spring, the flowers begin to be pollinated and the waxy red flower bases turn a deep red and swell with the potential of pomegranates for the fall.

CMG said...

The photos are gorgeous! My favorite thing about spring - when my prickly pear blooms, and the texas mountain laurel that smells just like grape kool-aid, and the bluebonnets - oh the bluebonnets!
