Horribly late posting this week, but honestly, it was the most fantabulous day today. Warm, sunny - a sit-in-the garden-for-the-very first-time-this-year kind of day. I acquired a new toy and have been playing with it all afternoon - an old Hasselblad film camera. Ah! The agony of having to wait to get film developed. I have been working on my granny squares outside and my plants are starting to show. I love when mother nature obeys my commands :) Tencents sat outside with me and was in alert mode at every chirp from the birds - of course I don't actually think she would know what to do with a bird if it got near her. She is a bit scared of them!
I am savoring every second of this moment in the garden because here in our part of the world, it could very well dump snow next week and fall below zero.
Happy weekend all.

Don't you love that first wonderful day after a long winter? I remember the first beautiful day after our first long winter in Minnesota -- I excitedly called my sister and told her I now understood why people suffer through the long, dark winters. A day was never so beautiful!
My hubby has an old hasselblad. I think the pictures he took on it are still in it -- the big goofball -- he was never good at the follow through.
As always, I'm SO inspired by your photos!
what beautiful weather you are having Raina...enjoy...the images always inspire~~
We had a beautiful day here, as well. I'm so happy to see Spring. :)
Lucky you!!! We are still waiting for Spring here...today we can see little bits of blue sky...it's not raining...perhaps Spring is arrinving at last!
Have a great Sunday, Raina.
Tencents looks lovely all alert! Our cat really loves being outside. He is lying on the table in the sun at the moment!

Sounds perfectly love. The tulips are beautiful, although I am a sucker for tulips and pitchers and white. What a fabulous name - Tencents. :) Enjoy your weekend. That is the weather we had last weekend and this one is freezing and cloudy. Ick.
Hi, Raina...hello, sweet Tencents! :o) Did you say WARM? You mean warm like warm sunshine?! LOL! ;o) Oh, that first day sitting outside, tinkering around the garden is the BEST! Your photos drip of the golden warmth of the sun and enjoyment... Take your time and just enjoy every drop of that sun while it's there--and I hope it stays there! Here the snow is melting pretty quickly, though not too warm yet, still hovering around freezing...*sigh*...But the green tips of crocuses are showing and the birds are back and singing--so there is HOPE! :o) Love these photos, Raina...I get lost in them... Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
it sounds such a wonderful time there! here in Italy is starting now to have a nice wheather, so far raining raining and raining....
Oh yes enjoy that warmth - the garden here has finally burst into life this weekend - buds, buds and more buds and a few blooms too - gorgeous - and my cats are just the same with birds :)
Ah!... and it was nice and warm here too:)
Sounds like the perfect day!
Speaking of cats that are afraid of birds, I had a kitty when I was a child that the Mockingbirds were swooping down and pulling out clumps of fur to line their nests. We had to keep her inside until the nesting period was over.
Happy weekend to you too! What wonderful weather you've got - I hope the jetstream sends us some soon too.
We savor all the sun we can get, so go ahead and enjoy!!
Oooohhhh...a Hasselblad. So jealous! Enjoy your warmth...we get the same sort of spring as you, never knowing when snow will dump a day after it's been in the 60's. Love the picture of kitten!
Yes, we are expecting the snowstorm after a beautiful weekend. I guess at least it waited for the working week...but the poor buds on the trees. Sigh.
The camera!!! I can't wait to see what you do. I'm on an unofficial hunt for some sort of film camera that I can get along with. I have awful luck.
What a wonderful day. It's raining here today, but it's a nice rain. I don't mind. We need a little rain so all of the gardens can do what they do so well, right? : )
lucky you, we have been plagued by soaking rain and dark clouds. So much for spring excitement.
Love your images btw.

Isn't the warm spring weather wonderful? I love it!
I had to drop in to see that darling kitty one more time...
crossing my fingers that the warmth with stay with you my friend...
Happy Tuesday~

We've had a few lovely spring days but apparently we're due another burst of winter in the next few days - not good for all the sprouting buds on my few plants. It'll be interesting to see what you get out of your Hasselblad - my Dad had one of those. I've got a couple of 'box' cameras: a Rollei, which I've never done anything with, and a basic Russian one, whose name escapes me - that gave me some 'interesting' black and whites!
Your photographs are always deeply pleasing.
Tencents! Great cat name.
Ahh, yes, here in Missoula it was so sunny the other day that I sat outside in a tank top, making earrings, and got sun burnt! Of course today it snowed. I love the picture of your kitty, and think that the name Tencents is such a wonderful name for a cat!
gorgeous! we've had good weather too but snow on its way again! those shots are beautiful!
Warmth is worth it! There's no time for blog posting when the weather calls. :)
Looks great! Hope it stays warm.
Happy Easter :)
