Lavender and Rain

Two of my favorite things today filled the air with a scent unmistakable to me as a reminder  of the simple blessings. For those who don't already know I love a good rain storm and everything that goes with it. Two days in a row our little valley has been gifted with the rain. By looking at the clouds rolling in I could tell it was going to be a big one. Outside I glanced at my lavender bushes that where almost already too far gone to preserve and quickly cut them down before the rain finished them off.

 I took a few shots of the heavy clouds moving in. I love the pre-storm pictures.

Grey Beauty

As a storm makes it's way into the quiet warm valley the shadows of heavy clouds cool the landscapes. There is nothing better than the quiet calm before a storm. Times like this I like to take a minute and enjoy the beauty of the grey. A shade of grey can complement all of its surroundings.  I took a few pictures of the quiet calm before the storm.

Ahhhh... Blue and White All Natural

I read an article the other day that said how Blue and White are the two colors that will flatter any room no matter the size or function of the room. I love the Blue and White combo as it looks clean and fresh and can pair up with many other colors when you want to add a accent to your color palette. So many options! We are fortunate to be able to enjoy these natural colors outside as well.

I was outside today and was overwhelmed by the sweet smell of apple blossoms. The sky was beautiful and the sun showered a perfect light on the orchard. I was able to escape from the house for a few minutes to capture a few shots of this oh so trendy BLUE and WHITE!

Enjoy!!!!
