10 on 10 March

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. 
~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke


Unbelievably, spring has begun with gusto! A couple of weeks ago my youngest two daughters and I took our annual trek to a beautiful working ranch in the Sierra foothills that   the beautiful acres and acres of daffodils planted there. This year because of our mild winter and low rain fall, Daffodil Hill opened up nearly a month earlier than usual and as it only stays open for a few short weeks we needed to act fast.  So a spur of the moment field trip was in order!  











I also had fun taking some top down images of a few flowering plum branches. And I couldn't forget the planter of oh-so-popular succulents sitting in my windowsill! 




And lastly, while looking through the images I had just imported into Light Room I came across several (as in a couple dozen!) images all taken by my 9 year old.  Nearly all were out of focus (she's too impatient to actually wait for the lens to focus before taking her shot) but I could tell she was having fun. She snapped this of me while I opened up a package containing my new calligraphy supplies. This is one image that she really loved so I included it. 



Thank you for joining me for this month's 10 on 10!  I hope you enjoyed seeing what spring looks like in my part of the world.  Please continue on your 10 on 10 tour and visit Micah Hewett's absolutely beautiful blog! And don't forget to leave a little bloggy comment love while you are there!

  5. Oh, Wow, Laura. These are so beautiful. I love the light and "bokeh" in the close ups of the daffodils. Also I keep coming back to that shot of the rustic barn wall with that beautiful old wheel barrow (I just love wheel barrows). Those shadows add something special . . . so well captured!
