Sweet Shot: Sun-Filled Rose

 Here is my Photo Of  The Day plus some extras.  I just love the sight of the sun shining through petals and leaves!  These just look so cheerful I thought I'd share it with you all too.

Sweet Shot: Lady Bug

Thought you all would enjoy this photo I took today too.  Such a cute little Lady Bug hiding in my Daylily leaves.

Sweet Shot Serendipity

Gotta love it when right as you are taking photos and have everything just right...wildlife lights upon that very spot!  This is what's called a 'Hummingbird Moth'.  Not a hummingbird but a moth, a large one that is mistaken for one when first seen, they hover and sip nectar too. LOL  I even love how its wings are lit up...so cool!

I remember the first time we saw one of these we didn't know what in the world it was and tried and tried to get a photo of it to see what it was!  They are really common here in the desert and they love all the nectar plants, and usually come out in droves in the evening! LOL  Today I looked out my kitchen window and saw my yellow climbing rose all blooming...made me really happy!  Gotta love that I got roses blooming in March!!!

CaptureYour365 POTD: Daffodil Bouquet

Yay the daffodils are blooming in my garden!  I used to hate how for the flower of the month things, with March being my birthday month, that the daffodil was always the one represented!  I always wished for Sweet Peas, Violas or some other more romantic flower.  But now after missing my garden flowers in the winter, it's the Violas and the Daffodils that are cheery and happily showing themselves!  They make you happy to see something finally, and symbolize the return of the garden!  I also really love these light yellow more ruffly variety too!  This photo just says springtime, cheery, bright, and fresh!  And they smell so good too, it's a green-light-fresh smell and it makes me happy!  Now I'm wishing I had more Daffodils planted!

Resolve

•  CQJP 2013 (Crazy Quilt Journal Project):  Create a Six Inch Crazy Quilt Block a Month

This project will be posted at HoneyBeesBliss I will post my progress as I work on each one there.  I resolved on a Tea Theme, and that the blocks will become pages in a book.

• Operation Snowflake:  Tatting One Snowflake a Month

This one was born from seeing a beautiful Christmas Tree FULL of tatting!  So I resolved to tat at least one snowflake a month for the next year giving me at least 12 additional snowflakes to the 12 I currently have.  This should give me a tree pretty full of tatting!  I have found lots of tatting patterns from bigger ones to small ones and everything in between.  I will tat whichever I may so desire that month!  I will post it on HoneyBeesBliss as well.

• CaptureYour365:  A Photo a Day For 365 Days

This project is very flexible and not strict.  I love photography so I will be using different methods to capture a photo each day.  Some days I may simply use my phone or tablet, and on other days I will use my DSLR.  I may use the idea list, or just simply capture something that catches my fancy for that day.  It's pretty anything goes.  Today's is "Resolve" hence this post!  I will be posting the daily photos at HoneyBeesFancy, which is a Journal Blog for anything I fancy to post about, also on HoneyBeesPhotos, which is mainly for showing all my photos in one place, and only posting a few Sweet Shots or Favorite Things on HoneyBeesBliss. which is a Creating Blog for all my various projects.

We had fun ringing in 2013!

 LOL With all this Resolve I will accomplish quite a bit this year!  I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a very good year for me.  YAY!
