A few isolated daffodils are blooming around the building where I work. They are in the middle of a grassy patch that was not landscaped during the fall. I don’t know if they were left there purposely or if no one new they were there. They provided a little punch of color to an otherwise dreary day with gray skies.
The other bloom caught my eye just as I got to the door of the building. It is a bush that has small white flowers on it in the Spring. These are the only blooms on the entire bush at the moment. It looks like a bunch of dead sticks trying to come back to life. I wonder how many people noticed it as they were coming and going today. I would estimate 500 or more people go in and out this door in the morning, at lunch, and when leaving the office in the evening. I hope there were some others that were not too busy or in a hurry to notice this little promise of warm weather to come.

It finally warmed up for a while today! It was so nice to be able to get outside without a heavy coat. It was so nice I decided to grill tonight. Of course I could grill any night since I have a gas grill, but it’s much nicer when the weather is warm! I’ve always like the color of the flames, so why not take a photo of them.

On Fat Tuesday my company tries to have a little fun by handing out Mardi Gras beads. A few of my friends dressed up to help. I just happened to have my camera

It snowed again. I can’t remember the last time we had snow this many times in one winter. It just doesn’t do this down south! I’m ready for warm weather to come back. I did try some macros of the snowflakes. It was a dry snow, so I could actually see some of the shapes without anything to magnify them…so out came the camera!

My youngest granddaughter is a Valentine baby. Today is her third birthday. Here’s a couple of shots from her party. She and her sisters had a great time. She does like most three year olds if you tell her to smile – the fake cheesey smile! And if you’re wondering about her “unique” hair style, she cut it herself couple of weeks ago. Both of these are SOOC. In the second photo she’s watching a ball in one of the arcade games fall.

I was trying to take some macro shots of snow/sleet/rain mix we had today as it fell on my windshield. I thought I only had some splats of ice and rain. When I got looking closer, I realized one shot had some great reverse images of the tree in the parking lot. I’ve tried to do this before and didn’t get near as good a shot in the reverse images. Guess I should just focus on the raindrops!
