Garden Visit

Whew!

I am sooo tired!

We travel to small churches every weekend (only one for about 6 months) and help out in whatever way we can. Right now we're helping a church in Fenton, Louisiana. It's in a sleepy little country town about an hour and fifteen minutes from my house. It's tons of fun, and I love the ministry, but we're usually pretty beat by the time we get home Sunday night. 

BUT.....

that's NOT what this post is about. :)

Saturday evening after my dad's surprise trip (which turned out to be going to Pet's Unlimited to see the animals. Not as exciting as I was dreaming of I'm afraid. :( ), we went to my Mawmaw's. She is an amazing cook, seamstress, and just about anything she puts her mind to. But as a photographer, my favorite thing she's good at is gardening. So I had a blast in her yard, taking pictures of all the lovely sights. 

Wanna see?

I love these tiny pink flowers, but I'm not sure what they're called.

I love these orangy-red flowers too. :)

I've always made necklaces with these. :)

I loved the lighting and the way the colors turned out in this one.
(Can you see the little honey bee barely visible on the right edge of the flower? I didn't see him when I took it.)

Isn't this little leaf flower so cute? And I experimented with some light texture in this one.

The adorable squirrel in the bird bath. ;)

And I thought this green lawn chair looked cool at this angle.

I also took a few pics of my adorable younger siblings. Mark was off doing his own thing, and doesn't really care for pictures. 

cher, Matthew loves the grass and flowers like his big sis. :D

you can't get much cuter then that toothless grin. :)

and this little lady is just growing up WAY too fast. I'm not ready for her to be 5 years old yet.

Such lovely blue eyes.

I liked this pic in black and white too.

So how was your weekend? 

Did you have fun with family and friends?

Did you get to go to a wonderful church like I did? 

I'll close this post with a pic of the sweet pastor and his wife at the church we're helping.
