April Showers...

Enough with April showers! I am ready for May flowers! The weather here in East Central Iowa has been cold, rainy and miserable. On the plus side, we have mostly have had just rain, not the ice or snow that other people have had to deal with.

Since "April Showers" was our blog circle theme this month, I had plans to do some fun April showers pictures with rain boots, puddles and umbrellas. Those things never happened because if it was raining during the day, I wasn't home or it was just nasty misty stuff. Plus, I hate the cold and the temperature were in the upper thirties or low forties so it was just damp and miserable and we even saw some sleet and snow (yes, I am whining!). This severely hampered my creativity!! Not at all the kind of weather I like to go outside and play in! We seemed to have a lot of heavy rain at night, so I took a few quick photos in the dark with a spot light from the protection of the porch one night. This was my favorite from the group.

I brought a wet daffodil in one morning and using a piece of black fabric and the light shining in the window from behind the flower took this photo....it's what I am looking forward to...May flowers!
