Blogger Spotlight Home Tour: A Rosy Note

There are but a handful of bloggers I know that are artists with a camera in their hand. But Tricia, of A Rosy Note, is indubitably one of them.

Her photography is beyond stunning.

I can only imagine sitting in this chair, looking about at the soft, tranquil setting of her home.

I have never seen one photo on her blog that was not sheer perfection.

 Tricia creates magic. It’s as simple as that.

I couldn’t put into words exactly what it is about Tricia’s photos that speaks to me so.

I just know she has the ability to capture what is good and wholesome about this world.

 And then gives them to us like a gift.

The Sweetest Things

sp9

A few days ago, I got the cast off my leg. At first it hurt like nobody’s business. But it has gradually gotten where I can walk some without the cane.

p26

Judy went with me. Afterward she did what she knows makes me happiest: take me somewhere to take photos.

Patience has never been my virtue. But I’m sure there is a lesson encrypted in this past ten months that I’m supposed to learn about all this.

p24

It has not in any way been an easy year. But still, here I am. Taking photos and writing blog posts. Just as I’ve been doing for five years.

Some of the best years of my life, meeting all of you, despite what might have been going on in my personal life.

She drove to one of my favorite spots, Swan Lake. What lucky people get to live in this neighborhood, daily watching these elegant and graceful birds.

Well, I guess until you see them in this rather ungraceful position!

p95

Spring flowers may be here, but the weather is cold. Cold. It’s crazy. It’s nearly May!

p61

Nature, in its four seasons, has immeasurable beauty. I feel humbled by what to me is near perfection.

“Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.”

A Drive To The Country

Judy and I got out and drove about the countryside. Couldn’t find a cow to save our necks. But found this very spirited horse.

There were several old relics that, unfortunately, seem to have been forgotten over time.

This horse would come galloping up to us at the fence, then turn around and run around the structures and come back full circle.

He was a delight to watch.

Linking to my friend Elaine’s Sunny Simple Sundays.

The Natural Beauty Of Swan Lake

The other day, Judy drove me to Swan Lake. It’s in the middle of town. And what a joy. I envy the homeowners surrounding this gem.

There were terrapins. Is that what these are called?

And the swans are so elegant.

Such a lovely place.

Relaxes me all over again just to look at the photos I took.
