scattered

Tonight I'm scattered but at least not smothered and covered...ehh (bad waffle house reference there). Keep your fingers crossed and happy thoughts for an answer on Tuesday about employment...well, not so much an answer but another step forward to an ultimate goal.

Since I was in Birmingham for testing...I of course dropped by the gardens. It's a shame Montgomery does not have something this beautiful. The cherries were not quite blooming yet, but they are on the cusp. Hopefully I can go back next week and they will be blooming. That's my favorite thing (besides the waterlilies).

You will be able to see how scattered I am by the varied ways I processed these shots. I couldn't decide what I wanted so they are not seried.

    the right opportunity will come along for you Char ~I know it is hard to be in "la la " land right now with a job!

    I will hold you in my thoughts and your images from the gardens are so vivid and a treat for my tired eyes tonight!

    They are all lovely but for me, the delicate one is my favorite too. But then the purple flowers, they look like they are jumping right out of the frame. Great shots!

    How beautiful is spring!? The flowers here in the north are still sleeping. Stirring slightly, though.

    You go ahead and be scattered in your processing. I, for one, am fine with that because these are all beautiful. That post card one is interesting.
    Damn, I love that banner . . .

    That magnolia is stunning! And until you get that job... keep taking as many photos as you can before your days disappear into an office.

    Lovely blooms.
