Hellebores have five lovely petals

This weeks Theme is Five

Since this weeks Photo Hunters theme is five, I thought that since I’ve been taking so many photos of my garden that I’d find one of my Spring blooming flowers.

Did you know that there aren’t that many Spring bulbs or perennials that have five petals? Not of the ones that I grow anyway!

Well I found a lovely photo or two of a five petaled flower. I took these photos of my Hellebores (Christmas Rose) about two weeks ago. They are still blooming! I love how long they last.

5 petals and the bud of a soon to be new flower:

Sorry I was so late getting my Photo Hunter post done!

We missed Photo Hunter

May 12, 2007 by Tricia

I just realized that since my husband came home sick last night that neither of use worked on putting up Photo Hunter photos for today! Ack! We’re both working on our late photo entries! they’ll be coming along shortly!

If you’ve come here looking for todays entry please return in an hour or so and I’ll have a nice photo surprise for you. LOL I mean I spent hours working on my photos yesterday … I should be able to find something to put up for the hunt.

What? No party?

May 12, 2007 by Tricia

Well it seem that Chris is doing a bit better today. He says he still feels wiped out, but so far he hasn’t seemed to have had any fevers. Hopefully whatever it is that was bothering him will be gone by tomorrow.

We were supposed to go over to our friends this evening. I don’t know if they own a foosball table or if they rented one … but they get along really well with some of their neighbors and they invited a few of them over, as well as some friends like us for a Foosball tournament and BBQ.

Chris, who loves nothing more than a party, decided not to go. He just wants to stay in and take it easy tonight. So that tells me right there that he’s still off. At least he’s not being his typical man self and being really whiny about being sick. LOL Men are great, but guys – you can be such PITA’s when you’re sick.

So he’s just sitting around doing a bit of work on the computer and watching the hockey game. Go Ottawa! That’s my hometown … gotta root for them now that Toronto’s long gone.

I think we’ll have a delivered dinner tonight.

Still working on those photos and getting some ideas

May 11, 2007 by Tricia

I’m just about done all that photo editing. I can’t believe how long it’s taken. I have to remind myself the next time I get a camera in my hands not to take 100 photos! Geezz!

Well I have been busy photographing lots of things this week. In a little while I’ll be posting some recipes for some of the fantastic dinners we had this week – with pictures of course! Who knows, the way I’ve been cooking and talking about cooking this week perhaps I’ll even start up a recipe/cooking blog. Yummy. Hmmm maybe I’ll call it “Drool Worthy”? LOL

This photo may not be drool worthy, but it is a picture of my favorite little Japanese Maple tree in the back corner of my garden. I love this tree. It’s leaves just opened in the last day or so and it’s looking lovely:

Photo editing can be boring

May 11, 2007 by Tricia

You know what I hate about taking photographs? I take too many! I wish they were always framed just perfectly so I wouldn’t have to do anymore than upload them to my computer and use them as I wished.

Instead, I’ve been sitting here for a couple of hours going over my latest batch of photos – cropping images, creating duplicates that zoom in on aspects of the photograph that I want to highlight and so on. It’s kind of fun in a geeky kind of way, but when I’m not all that into it, it can sure be tedious.

I guess since I’m working on the photos you can expect to see a bunch of new photos across our sites over the next few days. Watch for them!
